Now scheduled for September 24, 25, and 26, 2010.
Who’s going?
Other Black Rock alternatives include Mudrock, probably in mid-June, Aeronaut, probably in late July/early Aug, and XPRS, in September before BALLS. All of these are just based on last year’s scheduling; the 2010 AeroPac dates aren’t out yet.
I’m still interested in going out there once this year, but I’m not sure which one. Sometime when some other NCR folks are going so we can share some driving. I’d like to re-try my 3-stage 38mm rocket, so I’m more interested in later in the season so I’ll have more time to prepare.

Guys, I’ll make at least one trip to the playa this year… Not sure which launch, but I’m definitely going. I’ll try and narrow my calendar this week – there are two things that will settle into place.
Tony, will you be there for all the above??
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
