NCR Members —

At long last, I’ve gotten a bit of time to work on the launch log system for our club.

Keep in mind, I just got this running over the past few days, and the web pages are terrible.  They will get better over time.

The good news is that I’ve been able to get the historical flight logs back online for everyone.

Here is a link to…[Read more]

Members and Friends,

STOP – NO GO for launch on Saturday, March 2nd.  I spoke at length with the Ranger this afternoon.  We have been instructed to CANCEL our scheduled launch for this weekend.  The crispy vegetation and extremely dry soil conditions have elevated the levels of concern.  And that’s without mentioning the 800 plus acre fire that h…[Read more]

I am working on the design and implementation of a “train” of 3 parachutes.
“Trained means 3 chutes stacked on top of each other, largest, thru smallests vertically. I have a 36″, a 30″ and a 24″ chutes attached to a common riser.
Like a japanese Pagoda.
I have the riser going thru the center of the bottom chute (36”) thru the center of…[Read more]

Hello all, I just joined and have been looking through the site, but did not find any mention of TRA research launches.  Probably I’m not looking in the right place.  Are all/some/none of the launches research?  I am planning to visit a friend nearby in early March and would like to stop by and burn some APCP.

Members and Friends,

Please mark your calendars for these upcoming very important dates in 2019.

Saturday, January 5th, 10 AM – NCR Launch at the Atlas Site, weather pending.  For those of you driving a long ways to our launch, I’d recommend checking in with your favorite weather report or call the Greeley-Weld County Airport’s automate…[Read more]

Our planned Saturday Dec 1 Atlas launch has been scrubbed.  High winds and the predicted cloud cover equals a common sense approach to winter rules on the Front Range – Mother Nature wins again.

Apologies for the late decision making but really, the weather forecast is not in our favor.

NO GO for Saturday December 1st.

Apologies for the late notice:

There is a scheduled Northern Colorado Rocketry launch event on Sat, 12/1 at the Atlas launch site.

With no fire restrictions currently in place in Weld County or on the Pawnee National Grassland, We are GO for Launch, subject to normal precautions.

Expect partly cloudy skies, winds  8 to 14 mph and maybe tempe…[Read more]

4″ Madcow kit.  Olive drab with “US ARMY” decal.  Straight launch until about 4000′, then heeled over into the wind (from the SSE) and disappeared.  Should have gone to ~ 5500′.  Walked the areas North of the flight line both sides of the road past the fence line, and South of the flight line looking for anything that came in ballistic. Grass was…[Read more]

All launch activities have been cancelled for today and tomorrow.

I wanted to know the availability of the 35,000′ window in November.  I just doinked a part for my rocket this weekend and won’t be able to re-make it in time.
