The Finnish Astronautical Society is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. There are many different events in the anniversary year, and today there was a rocket launch event for the public. We flown dozens different rockets to height of 100-400 meters in Kulmakorpi, Espoo. The weather favored us and there were about 50 rocket boys and girls. Many children were able to launch a rocket with an electric trigger. The joy was great when the rocket left for the sky!

This flight and many other events have been shooted during this year. The Finnish Astronautical Society will later publish a video of the anniversary events.
