We’re up to about almost foot of snow down here in Highlands Ranch so far. I assume the snow will have to melt off of the road to the pad, among other things, for the November launch to happen?

I just checked the google calendar and it shows north, Dec shows Atlas. Did someone fix it?

Yeah, it’s the Google calendar that says Atlas site.Roger that on the waiver. In that case I’ll be flying the I600 (I still owe the pot $20), the I216, or maybe both if the first recovery goes well.

Warren is pretty much spot on with this. The “windows” we have been blessed with for/on specific dates are requested and submitted at the time the waiver is renewed. For the November launch, not going to happen. 20,000′ AGL is…   Read more»

We’ll see what Joe says, but in general we ask for the dates high altitude windows when we apply for the waiver in November/December of the year before. Since we’ve had the windows, we generally ask for MHM, the mid-July…   Read more»

Tim,Did you find enough MW alts for your project? Never heard back from you on it. Let me know if you still need one more.-Ken

How much for just the battery? I’ll add it to my growing collection of oops and ahs…

I am also in the market for a classic RRC2, so if Tim doesnt buy them all, toss me an email at bts-rockets@bluefx.com , I promise to treat it better than the one below…Sadly, due to my error, this one…   Read more»

I’ve got one as well. Sent you an email.Ken

I’ve got at least one and possibly 2 RRC2X altimeters I’d be willing to part with for an appropriate deal.Warren

Djsroc,It’s yours then. See private message.Chad

I would like to have it but will have to wait til I get back from Mexico in a week. If you can hold it, great, if not its all good.

I spoke to Ken @ GLR today and he said he will be taking care of everything with this deal. If anyone is concerned, don’t be! All is well and going through as supposed to be. We may need to…   Read more»

Thank you for offering it!!! Very much appreciated Jeroen!!!

Thank you all for your participation in this special. This turned out to be a very popular special.Same for Pro98. If the M2505 is too large for your rocket, you can go with the 2G version and a spacer. That…   Read more»

Good lord, you guys hijacked this one big time. It’s all lost under this title…..

I agree with Ed, we are pitting altimeters against each other instead of rockets. If I try for the K site record next year, which is very tempting, I’m probably going to ask to see if I can use the…   Read more»

I’ll start a new thread as we are way off topic. We are also spending more time flying altimeter against altimeter instead of rocket against rocket.

OK, i get that the balloons are sampling pressure at various altitueds. How is the altitude of the balloon when the pressure is sampled determined?GPS or radio location. The other NCR Ken works for the company that makes those now,…   Read more»
