There is a scheduled/approved Northern Colorado Rocketry launch event on Sat, 3/7 at the Atlas launch site. Weather pending....We have a GO for launch this Saturday, March 7th, from the Atlas Site. This launch will be for commercial motors only. Expect the range and waiver (12,000’ AGL) to be operational by 9 AM. With no fire restrictions currently in place in Weld County or on the Pawnee NG and no other unusual concerns, the PNG Ranger has "green lighted" NCR for the event, subject to normal precautions.
Please note that the launching of rockets on NFS land is normally prohibited under a Forest Service Region 2 fire regulation. The issuance of NCR’s permit allows launches to take place for approved launch events only. All launches, other than those conducted during approved launch events, are prohibited by Forest Service regulations.
For those of you that drive a long ways to attend our launch, please check with your favorite weather forecast before leaving home.
As always, volunteers are needed to help with range set up, operation and clean up. Anyone available to tow?
