    A group of students and an adult supervisor are preparing a small rocket for launch on an open field. Two students are actively working on the rocket launcher assembly, which is stabilized with sandbags on a blue tarp, while others observe. All visible individuals are wearing face masks, suggesting this was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

    Eighth-grader Timothy Louie checks the level of a rocket launching rail, May 8, 2021, at Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos, California, as STARBASE Los Alamitos youth rocketry teammate Gina Rodeghiero looks on and coaches stand near while making final preparations to launch a qualifying rocket for The American Rocketry Competition. The competition’s 100 lowest scoring teams will earn a national finals invitation. The rocketry team is a follow-on extracurricular science, technology, engineering and math program for Los Alamitos-area middle and high school students. STARBASE Los Alamitos is one of four DoD STARBASE locations in California and one of two facilitated by the California Military Department. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.

    A group of students and an adult supervisor are preparing a small rocket for launch on an open field. Two students are actively working on the rocket launcher assembly, which is stabilized with sandbags on a blue tarp, while others observe. All visible individuals are wearing face masks, suggesting this was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
    A group of people wearing face masks are gathered outdoors around a table during what appears to be a rocketry or engineering activity. A young person with spiky hair is holding and examining a carbon fiber tube with wooden fins attached, likely a model rocket body. Several Duralast batteries and equipment are visible on the table, suggesting a launch preparation or assembly session.
    Two individuals wearing face masks are examining a small object outdoors. The man on the right is wearing a dark polo shirt identifying him as 'Marc McReynolds' from the USA Spacemodeling 2018 U.S. Team. They appear to be at an outdoor field or launch site, likely involved in model rocketry activities.
    A young woman wearing a blue sweatshirt and a black face mask is carefully working with a rocket launch rail or similar apparatus outdoors. She appears to be threading or connecting a wire/igniter to a model rocket mounted on a launch rod. The background shows a blurred natural landscape, suggesting an outdoor launch field setting.
    The image shows a red and white parachute descending through an overcast gray sky, with two elongated cylindrical objects suspended beneath it by suspension lines. The objects appear to be rocket or projectile components, possibly from a model rocket recovery system. The scene suggests a controlled descent following a launch event.
    Two individuals stand near a white SUV (appears to be a Chevrolet Suburban) in an outdoor field setting under overcast skies. One person dressed in all black with a hood and face covering has their arms raised, while another person in a magenta jacket, white shirt, jeans, and black bucket hat with a face mask stands nearby. Additional people are visible in the background.
    A small hobby/model rocket is captured mid-launch, ascending along a metal launch rod with a visible flame and smoke trail beneath it. The launch pad is a yellow metal stand stabilized by sandbags on a blue tarp, set in an open grassy field. A person in the background is photographing the launch event.
    A young person wearing a pink/lavender face mask and a maroon sweatshirt is outdoors, holding up a dark-colored handheld device (appearing to be a scanner or sensor) with one raised arm while looking up at it. The background shows an open grassy field with light poles and trees visible in soft focus. The image appears to be taken during daylight under an overcast sky.
