NCR Club Launch - MHM 2012 - Day Two

North Site - Pawnee National Grasslands

Saturday May 26th, 2012

Launch Summary

Day Two (Saturday) of MHM.  Typically the busiest day of the weekend when the weather cooperates.  55 different flyers put up a total of 104 flights including L1 Cert for Heather Driscoll, L2 for Eric Watkins, Craig Perkins and Cary Reeves and a "window" shot by Sean Serell and Doug Krohn to 27,000' and change. A little bit of Alphabet action from Bret Packard and John Marvin.   The usual disclaimer about motor usage and clusters, staging and the Break down as follows: A's=13, B's=11, C's=18, D's=1, E's=8, F's=9, G's=10, H's=14, I's=6, J's=6, K's=4, L's=1 and M's=3.

Weather Conditions

Heavy, pea soup like fog greeted the morning early risers but eventually burned off for clear skies and erratic winds from all points of the compass.  Fairly constant breeze all day, with surprizing lulls and directional shifts.  Afternoon thundershowers never really threatened but the wind was a constant reminder of Mother Nature's eminent pressence.

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.
