There is a scheduled/approved Northern Colorado Rocketry launch event on Sat, 3/5 at the Atlas launch site. Weather pending….We have a GO for launch this Saturday, March 5th, from the Atlas Site. This launch will be for commercial motors only. Expect the range and waiver (12,000’ AGL) to be operational by 9 AM. One note of caution – there have been 3 fires in the last 2 weeks out on the Pawnee so WE WILL please exercise extra awareness & caution. Please note that the launching of rockets on NFS land is normally prohibited under a Forest Service Region 2 fire regulation. The issuance of NCR’s permit allows launches to take place for approved launch events only. All launches, other than those conducted during approved launch events, are prohibited by Forest Service regulations.
As always, volunteers are needed to help with range set up, operation and clean up
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.
