Hobbies and games associations

Pollux is the astronomy and model rocketry club at Aalto University. Our activities include excursions to astronomical research facilities, sauna and movie evenings, stargazing trips and model rocketry activities. During the school semesters there are different types of events typically every one or two weeks.

In 2002 Pollux became the second model rocketry club in Finland. After that it has organized many model rocketry courses, during which different design and safety aspects of model rockets are taught. After the course you receive a model rocketry certificate, which allows one to buy rocket model motors and fly them anytime. The courses have so far been held in Finnish, and the certificate is valid only in Finland.
