Launch Summary

NO GO

Weather Conditions

Mother Nature prevails. The weather forecast for the Briggsdale area has precipitation starting before midnight tonight and going until noon Saturday, turning to snow. Sunday doesn’t look any better. The predicted temps during launch time will be below freezing, albeit only a smidge with winds 17 to 20 mph blowing towards the road and with 100% cloud cover. Call me soft but we’re going to scrub. SCORE in Pueblo plans to fly with warmer temps predicted but stronger winds.

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.
