News Item: April Launch

 If the weather cooperates, we have a GO for launch this Saturday, April 10th and Sunday April 11th from the North Site. Saturday will be for commercial motors only and Sunday will be for TRA Research. Expect the range and waiver (20,000’ AGL) to be operational by 9 AM. NCR is an Authorized Permitee of the Pawnee National Grassland.
An orientation briefing for participants will be held and will include a discussion of safety and emergency procedures, fire conditions and instruction, applicable rules and regulations, and what is expected of participants with regards to the use of NFS lands under our special use permit. Recent windy days have elevated the need for extra vigilance of the fire risks on the range.
For those of you that drive a long ways to attend our launch, please check with your favorite weather forecast before leaving home. The current forecast calls for clear to partly cloudy skies, with temperatures reaching into the low sixties.
Please note that all launch events will be conducted using nationally approved/accepted range safety practices. The launching of rockets on NFS land is normally prohibited under a Forest Service Region 2 fire regulation. The issuance of this permit allows launches to take place by exempting the Holder from that regulation for approved launch events only. All launches, other than those conducted by the Holder during approved launch events, are outside the scope of this permit and are prohibited by Forest Service regulations.
As always, volunteers are needed to help with range set up, operation and clean up. Please contact Ed Dawson at volunteer@ncrocketry.org
Hope to see you out on the range.
