NARHAMS supports the oldest public demonstration launches in the United States. These launches are held on the first Sunday of each month at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, starting at 1 pm. Anyone who wishes to fly at these events may do so. Due to the limited recovery area, no multi-stage models or motors larger than D power may be flown. Maximum altitude is also limited to 2000 feet.
