Come on out to SoAR’s launch from Mill Springs Academy on Saturday from 9 AM – 2 PM. Weather should be sunny. Temperatures should be in the upper 70’s. Winds will be about 5 mph coming mainly from the southeast.
Mill Springs is our low-power field, suitable for rockets that fly no more than 1000 feet or so. We recommend a maximum of “D” impulse, but experienced rocketeers can and have flown big rockets with up to “G” power on this field. You never know!
As always, the public is welcome to watch or join in.

SoAR’s September launch at the pasture between Ball Ground and Dawsonville will be this Saturday, from 9 AM to 2 PM.
This is our mid-power field, where rockets up to G power can be flown. It is very hilly, and cow-patties abound, hidden in the tall grass in the recovery area, so pick your shoes accordingly. Spectators are always welcome. If you’ve got a rocket, come fly it with us.
Looks like we’ll have a perfect sunny day for the launch. Temps will start a little chilly in the morning in the 50’s but warm to the low 70’s by noon. The wind will also stay calm until noon when it will rise to a very manageable 5 MPH from the south west.

It is time for the September RocketTalk meeting at Tuxford Swim & Tennis Club in Alpharetta this Thursday evening from 7:00 PM to about 9 PM.
The RocketTalk meeting is where we bring projects to show and techniques to share, and just talk rockets. We cover everything: build questions and techniques; motors; recovery; new and old models; high and low power; model rocket history; real rockets: etc., etc. etc. If it has anything to do with rockets, we love it!!!! You are guaranteed a few minutes of floor time… so bring your latest projects, questions, ideas, finds, complaints, recipes, clean jokes, ocarina improvisations, etc.
For those who are still uncomfortable with in-person meetings, are unvaccinated, or just can’t get to the meeting, we will still have a remote component to the meeting. We will have a TV, laptop, and web cam at the meeting and those who wish can log onto Zoom and participate from home. Just go to the RocketTalk page and click the big blue button.

In lieu of a second launch this month, Jorge Blanco is welcoming us into his home to celebrate his birthday (more or less) this Saturday (though his birthday is Monday) from 10AM to 2PM. There will be Chick-Fil-A nuggets, chips, soft drinks (non-diet!), and ice cream cake.
Why show up (aside from the food)?:
- Silent Auction: Parachutes and Motor Cases. A 29mm 60-12 is going to start at $20. A 38 & 54mm cases (no closures will go for $30-50). Parachutes up to 6 feet will be bargains. A silent action is where an item for auction is placed where it can be inspected with a bid sheet. Bidders write their name on the bid sheet and bid either the minimum (if no one else has bid) or $1 more than the prior high bid. At the end of the action, the high bidder pays up and takes their item.
- Free rockets. I got a massive collection of expertly finished rockets from Leonard Boswell and a couple of other people. He wants these rockets given away. These are Mid through Clustered high power rockets. One of the rockets to be given away is Steve Corrigal’s Bucky Jones….beautiful rocket! Please take only what you can fly (if you have no high power certification, don’t take a rocket with a 54mm mount….your family will hate you)
Location:
12110 Brookfield Club Dr.
Roswell, Ga. 30075-1264
Look for a large rocket in the front yard and/or the club banner.
