2021 NCR May Days [North Site]
Launch Summary
Happy May Day! Huge THANKS to Jack Matthews for towing both ways and for range set up with the help of Scott Dukes, David Pinter and everyone else that assisted. We were OK to proceed as planned with the scheduled Saturday May 1st and Sunday May 2nd launch event, at the North site, subject to the normal precautions. Basic COVID hygiene protocols were still in effect: If you had a fever or if you felt sick, don’t show up; keep at least 6′ or more between your prep area and the next person.
An orientation briefing for participants was held and included a discussion of safety and emergency procedures, fire conditions and instruction, applicable rules and regulations, and what is expected of participants with respect to the use of NFS lands under our special use permit. Waiver was from 9 AM to 6 PM but we were pretty much done by 5 when weather started to threaten.

April 2021 [North Site]
Saturday April 3rd, 2021
Secretly named the Count Down launch (4-3-21) Our Pawnee Open can only be described as Epic. Huge thanks to Jack Matthews for towing out the equipment trailer early in the day and then for doing much of the range set up, with help from Scott Dukes and David Pinter and Jesse Frey and am sure I’m forgetting others. We slowly orgainized and got everything ready for an early start on Saturday. Waiver went from 8 AM till 6 PM. So great to be back out on the range with so many rocketry family friends.
Weather Conditions
In a word – stupendous. A quiet chill Friday night warmed to a glorious clear day on the prairie, with temperatures reaching into the seventies and just a hint of a breeze. Clear sky at night with a -3.8 magnitude visible pass of the ISS.
