Saturday March 6, 2021 – Atlas Site
GO for Launch: Weather predictions appear cold but favorable for flying!
We are GO for launch on Saturday, March 6th from the Atlas Site, subject to normal precautions. Looks like Mother Nature may cooperate. The current weather predictions appear favorable for flying rockets. Expecting partly cloudy skies, slight winds increasing, with possible gusts up to 16 mph, and maybe the temperatures will reach into the low fifties. The waiver and range should be open by 9 AM and last until 4 PM or until we run out of motors, lose interest or the wind and cold chases us away, whichever happens first. All flights must remain under the 12,000’ AGL ceiling.
Basic COVID hygiene protocols are in effect for NCR launches: if you have a fever or if you feel sick, stay home; try to keep at least 6′ or more between your prep area and the next person; please follow the new Executive Orders introduced by President Biden – launch participants on federal lands are required to wear masks at all times, not just when in the vicinity of others. 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 respect to the use of NFS lands under our special use permit.
Please check the website for updates in the days prior to a scheduled launch date.
