[NRV Rocketry] Launch Day Reminders

[chuck.neff at comcast.net]

Divyanshu, 


Yes, students will be allowed to launch their own rockets for free on Saturday.  They will of course have to pass our safety inspection prior to launch  and use only certified, commercially available motors (no home made motors). 



Thanks, 

Chuck Neff

Dear Mr. Neff, 

I was told that it is free for students to launch. Is this correct? 

Thank you, 

Divyanshu

The only comments I have at this point concern the weather and site access.  Although the forecast has improved, the soaking rains that we’ve had could create problems with access off the main lane.  It is imperative that anyone entering the site to please follow all signs and stay on the directed path.  If for some reason something happens and you find yourself stuck, please stop and find someone associated with the launch.  We will ensure that you get out with as little damage to the ground as possible. 

  

Remember, being able to launch at Kentland Farms is a privilege, so everyone please be responsible and treat it gently. 

  

Thanks, 

Chuck Neff

Certification Launches: 

If anyone is planning on doing a certification flight (NAR or TRA on Sat, TRA-only on Sun), if you have not already contacted anyone to let us know you plans, then please contact our RSO and launch coordinators at: 

rso at nrvr dot org 

and let them know: 

* What your launching 

* What rocket and size motor you're flying 

* What the approx/expected altitude is 

* If you simulated the flight, what program(s) you used 

(RockSim, OpenRocket, etc) 

* If you plan on flying over 2,000 feet (we recommend dual deploy) 

* If you plan on flying over 6k feet, we need advance notice 

We will also have a rocket motor vendor on site, so letting us know what size/type motor you need, we can try to ensure we have whatever you need there to have a successful launch (including lender motor casings, black powder, etc). 

Bob.. Chuck.. 

You all have anything to add? 

Thanks, 

Tweeks
