The Northern Colorado Rocketry Club is THE premier rocketry club in Colorado and also the home of the Rocky Mountain West's two finest regional launches - Mile Hi Mayhem and Oktoberfest. NCR encourages and provides support for hobby rocketry in all it's forms - from the smallest 1/2A powered model rockets up to birds powered by the largest experimental motors. NCR's two launch sites with 12,000'AGL and 20,000'AGL standing waivers are amongst the finest launch sites anywhere in the country. With a full range of pads and launch equipment, including hybrid ground support for all commercial hybrids, NCR's state of the art launch system can fly everything from the smallest 2 oz. model rocket up through rockets weighing several hundred pounds. With launches scheduled usually on the 1st Saturday of every month and two all-club meetings a year, NCR strives to make hobby and amateur rocketry a safe, enjoyable and educational hobby for all - from the kids to teens and all the way up through the big kids. Come out and fly with us. Directions to our launch site are available at the link on the main menu. Come join NCR today! |

Announcements: August launch Cancelled
Friday, July 18 @ 21:22:10 MDT by WMusselman (109 reads) | A reminder that we have a TRA Research Lauch this weekend, July 19th and 20th, up at the Pawnee North Site. You must be a Tripoli L2 or above to fly - commercial or Research motors, NO Black Powder motors - NO model rocket pads will be set up. We have call-in waivers to 35,000' AGL, so if you can fly that high and have gotten Tripoli approval, come on out!
Due to essentially the entire executive board being out of town or tied up with work or family issues, the August 2ne launch has been cancelled. We will launch next on September 6th, again at the North Site. Don't forget, Oktoberfest is coming and with it some amazing contests, raffle prizes and flights... Don't forget to pre-register!.
