The previously scheduled Night Launch has been cancelled. Sunday, July 19th will be a Tripoli Research launch with range hours of 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This will of course be weather permitting with the final GO/NO-GO decision being made the Friday evening before by 8:00 PM. Check the launch status on [ VAST?s website ]( http://valleyaerospace.com/ ) before leaving for the site (if the Green GO button is shown, the launch is on). I am planning to be at the site Saturday morning around 8:00 AM to begin setting up for the event. Feel free to join me if you'd like to help (please let me know ahead of time if you plan to help). Also, I will not be checking to see if the hay has been cut until a few days before the launch. I will send out a follow up email to let everyone know. Even if it is cut, there will still be the usual areas of tall grass, shrubs, briars, and marshy ground (not to mention the trees surrounding the site)! As with the June launch, we will follow whatever COVID 19 requirements are in place at that time. If something changes that hinders our ability to hold the launch, I will let everyone know as soon as I know. If anyone is ill or displaying any symptoms, considered at-risk, or simply has concerns with being around others, you should not attend. Here are the basic participant guidelines that I would like each of you follow: Parking - Upon arrival, please park with larger (not excessive!) than usual side-to-side gaps between vehicles. Vehicles parked end-to-end do not require extra spacing. Personal Measures - Even though we are outdoors, please respect and practice social distancing and use hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes. Note: we will have hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes available in common areas but since quantities may be limited, please bring and use your own when possible. Registration/Contact Information - Please fill out the attached registration sheet and either email it back to me to bring it to the launch. RSO Check - Normal checks for first flight and all high power rockets will be performed. Hand your rocket to the RSO and step back to a safe distance while remaining engaged and ready for questions. Use hand sanitizer! Flights Cards - The usual paper flight cards and pens will still be available for use at the range canopy but if you have concerns with handling them, you can print the attached versions, fill them out with your own pen ahead of time, and bring them up with your rocket. They can be printed on plain paper (no need for cardstock or colored paper) but please print the Model version using a color setting for easier differentiation from the High Power version. Also, anyone attending Sunday's Research Launch and planning to make a Research flight can contact me for that flight card. Porta-potty - There will be hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes available; Use them! Please let me know whether you plan to attend or not as soon as possible. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to respond. Hope to see you at the field! Thanks!

They're doing another launch on Aug 8th. That might be better for some of our folks who didn't get to go t othe last one. Again.. the have a roughly 2500ft "okay without dual/jully deploy".. Also.. Chuck likes to get an guest flyer RSVP signup so he knows what people are bringing and flying (kind of like our pre-flight data capture requirement). So if you plan to go.. expect to gill out his form. To RSVP.. Contact Chuck at [ vastinfo at valleyaerospace.com ]( mailto:vastinfo at valleyaerospace.com ). Some NRVR History: VAST and NRVR are kind of "sister clubs". Chuck has been in the hobby for many yearse.. and actually helped NRVR get started back in 2011 before we had a waiver (we flew on his!) or before Bob became Prefect. Heck.. his L3 AV bay is actually documented in the High Power2 Bible: [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/1412058104 ]( https://www.amazon.com/dp/1412058104 ) Thanks Chuck for helping us get off the ground. :) Here's some photos of our first years of launches: [ http://server2.nrvr.org/photos/ ]( http://server2.nrvr.org/photos/ ) Good times.. :) Tweeks On Monday, July 27, 2020 4:39pm, "Chuck Neff" said: NRVR Members, Since some of you attended our July launch, I thought that I would go ahead and post an invitation to attend our August event. The details are as follows: VAST will be holding a Sport Launch on Saturday, August 8th, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM at our Jack Mountain Village launch site near Monterey, Virginia. Please note that the range will be closing earlier on Saturday than the July launch due to an offsite membership meeting that evening. Sunday, August 9th will be a Tripoli Research launch with range hours of 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Anyone wanting to attend both days is welcome to camp at the site. This will of course be weather permitting with the final GO/NO-GO decision being made the Friday evening before by 8:00 PM. Check the launch status on VAST?s website before leaving for the site (if the Green GO button is shown, the launch is on). Unfortunately the hay was not cut in July so I have my doubts that it will be cut in August. Even if it is cut, there will still be the usual areas of tall grass, shrubs, briars, and marshy ground (not to mention the trees surrounding the site)! As with the June and July launches, we will be following whatever COVID-19 requirements are in place at that time. If anyone is ill or displaying any symptoms, considered at-risk, or simply has concerns with being around others, you should not attend. If something changes that hinders our ability to hold the launch, I will let everyone know as soon as I know. If you would like to attend or have any questions or comments, please contact me offline directly at [ vastinfo at valleyaerospace.com ]( mailto:vastinfo at valleyaerospace.com ). Please do not attend without contacting me so I can get a headcount as well as send you some additional information. Hope to see some of you at our field! Thanks!
