</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;">The use of the Kentland field for rocketry launches is currently under review by the University.
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 700;">As such, all summer launches are currently canceled</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;">. We are working
with the University on a full safety review of maximum rocket size/mass, impulse, and altitude limits, as well as safe distances and potential landing zones given the new dairy farm's proximity. We will let everyone know once this review is completed and the
new standards are set.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;">Due to the uncertainty of the timeline for the review,
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 700;">our BFSL (summer launch) and all other currently scheduled launches are canceled</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;">.
We have been in communication with several other clubs in VA and the surrounding region, and are being invited out to their ongoing launches at VAST, SERVA, Tripoli NC, etc. We will keep the club updated on upcoming Remote-Launch opportunities (both here
and on our calendar), as to get some stuff into the sky!</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;"><br>

mail list to coordinate. If you want to fly, please contact their Prefect </span>
