For the third year, Land the LM will be a monthly NAR event beginning at this year’s first launch to continue commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landings. The contest is open to all MASA Members for 2021. The contest objective is to launch a model rocket and have it land closest to an area on the launch field representing the moon. The closest landing for the entire year will win the grand prize, a Saturn Skylab Model Rocket, to be given away at the annual holiday party. There will also be prizes given at the annual party for second and third place.
