May

North Site - Pawnee Grasslands

Saturday May 4th, 2024

Launch Summary

Scheduled launch.  Thanks to Jack Matthews for equipment trailer towing both ways and range set up/tear down.  Thanks also to Adrian Adamson for range set up and to George Barnes and Kevin Farrell and others for range shut down.  Huge thanks to Utah State University visitors for the use of their borrowed pad from BYU and to Ted and Colin Apke for awesome help as LCO's.  And to everyone else that helped keep the wind at manageable levels to get most of a great day in.  60 flights from 38 different fliers, 26 Class One and 34 Class Two.  Special thanks to George Barnes for handling the CSU Certifications and Ryan Southworth's.  Nice to have Julian Chee visit from Wichita.  

Weather Conditions

Spring conditions on the prairie.  Partly cloudy skies gave way to lots of sunshine and moderate winds most of the day.  Pawnee not nearly as green as it should be for this time of year.  Sadly lacking in moisture.  As Larry Haynes so adequately describes it, "drier than a popcorn fart."

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.
