Northern Colorado Rocketry
2002-07-13 NCR Club Launch

NCR Club Launch

North Site - Pawnee Grasslands

Saturday July 13th, 2002

Launch Summary

This is the first launch after the two clubs, PHITS and TRM, merged to form Northern Colorado Rocketry. John Wilke set a new "F" altitude record and made a shot at the Icarus record with an 8838ft flight. That leaves 162 feet for the rest of us to work with. Even the rattle snakes were happy to see us flying because one of the bigger ones came out to watch.

Weather Conditions

Sunny, warm and breezy.

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.
