[NRV Rocketry] [NRVR-Launches] NRV Rocketry Launch This Saturday (7/21), 10am-3pm

[Thomas Weeks]

More info about this Saturday's launch is now on the launches page:
	http://nrvr.org/launches/

We also now have a map of the Sinkland launch site, a GPS accurate link, and 
indicators for parking, launch pads and attendees area:
	http://nrvr.org/launches/files/Sinkland-Farms-Launch-Site_map.pdf

This first launch is not fully open to the public, so please don't tell all 
your friends about it /just/ yet. ;) It is being booked as a "demo launch" for 
us to work out any issues with the land owner for a larger launch there in 
September, and as such we need to keep this one on the smaller side; NRVR and 
VT AIAA students/faculty only please. We really keep things neat and put our 
best foot forward. :)

As indicated on the map, we will have low power pads (various size rods) and a  
1010/1" rail pad for medium power rockets up through 3.3lbs/G motors.

We're not solid on a ceiling yet, but current estimates are launches should be 
limited to <3,000ft. Should not be a problem given the class-1 weight/thrust 
restrictions (no that's not a challenge... but flag us if you think you can 
break it ;)

Any questions? (ask on the main nrvr list.. nrvr-launches is announcements 
only)

Bob.. did I miss anything you want to mention?

p.s. we came up with a new logo too! :)
