Sweetness Scott. “Windows” should be available each of the three days in May. I’ll need to know ahead of time by a little bit to make all of the proper arrangements for the high altitude opportunities.

Okay, I’m sorry, working on catching up but it’s already a week later and most of the launch logs are almost all posted. Friday and Saturday are anyway. Looking like the weather has finally turned the corner and winter is…   Read more»

And we might get a visit from the Broomfield Civil Air Patrol squadron. They are touring the Missile Silo in Greeley and planning on visiting our launch sometime afternoon. Hopefully the W stuff – that’s weather vernacular for air flow…   Read more»

Sounds as if a group of students from the School of Mines are planning on visiting and flying a few projects. Apparently, they also need to do some community service or something so they’ll help with set up or tear…   Read more»

Visit the NAR site and find the info regarding available insurance coverage for land owners that provide a space port. I had it earmarked but now can’t find it. But the NAR will provide coverage for launches conducted by members…   Read more»

Or just follow the marked Detour route and enjoy the scenic journey.

In other words, the motor and delay element both start burning at the same time. Blow thru often occurs when the delay element is not tightly sealed against the ignition source and then the powder lights pre-maturely. Sometimes, too powerful…   Read more»

Weather looking really nice – waiver has been called in – Saturday should be awesome! Figuring we’ll need four low power and probably four high power and adjust accordingly from there. I’m bringing the PA – thinking we might need…   Read more»
