Northern Colorado Rocketry
2002-10-05 NCR Club Launch

NCR Club Launch

Pawnee North Site

Saturday October 5th, 2002

Launch Summary

The day began with John Wilke launching Argos on an Animal Motor Works Green Gorilla M1850 for an L3 Certification Attempt. Unfortunately a sewn loop on the recovery harness failed during the main parachute deployment and separation occured. Craig Perkins attempted a Level 2 Certification flight with his Endeavour, using a long burn J90. The hybrid pad was kept busy most of the day with some impressive Ratt and Hypertek flights. Jon Skuba made his first K-Impulse and first hybrid flight with "Piton" on the Ratt K240 - successfully landing the 8 pound rocket under a 24" drogue.

Weather Conditions

Northern Colorado weather made a turn in favor of launching rockets today as the cloud cover broke and the wind calmed. By mid day, the temps had soared into the 70's with SE winds between 4 and 15 mph. The wind kicked up just as we were shutting down for the day and carried the last two flights more than a mile down range.

All launch events will be conducted using nationally approved/accepted range safety practices. 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 by exempting the Holder from that regulation for approved launch events only. All launches, other than those conducted by the Holder during approved launch events, are outside the scope of this permit and are prohibited by Forest Service regulations.
