On the Colorado Rocketry Calendar it begins on Friday the 28th and runs through Monday the 31st.
On the side bar Launch Schedule it starts on Saturday the 29th?
Clarification?
We’re not always accurate with the numbers. Range set up will be on Thursday, May 27th and flight operations will start on Friday, May 28th. Friday and Saturday will be for commercial motors, Sunday and Monday for Tripoli Research. The dates are correct in the Text story for the event but the details are in need of editing – namely, NO SPARKIES ALLOWED, probably no movie Friday Night as I’m pretty sure Doug is not planning on attending this year with LDRS so close afterwards, Night Launch will be 8 to 10 PM Friday and/or Saturday, etc.
Cool that there are night launches too!
What’s the impulse limit or waiver for the night launch? -Sean
High Power night launch, standing waiver of 20,000′ AGL. Special requirements that the bird be illuminated for the entire flight – up and down; also needs to be a proven bird for beyond a G impulse. Most folks don’t launch much beyond an I or J power anyway.
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.
