There is a scheduled/approved Northern Colorado Rocketry launch event on Sat, 3/7 at the Atlas launch site. Weather pending….We have a GO for launch this Saturday, March 7th, 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. Expecting partly cloudy skies, winds 6 to 10 mph, and maybe the temperatures will reach into the sixties. The waiver and range should remain open until 3 PM or until we run out of motors, lose interest or the wind chases us away, whichever happens first. Plan on flying early and often. 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.
