Come on out to SoAR’s launch from Mill Springs Academy on Saturday from 9 AM – 2 PM. Weather should be mostly sunny but there will be a 50% chance of thunder showers. Temperatures should be in the mid 80’s. Winds will be light and variable.
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.

It is time for August’s 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.

SoAR’s June 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.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON WEATHER UPDATE! Rain chance during the launch has mostly gone away! Weather should be partly sunny with temperature in the mid 70’s, and winds from 3-6 mph from the east turning southeast. Relative humidity will be around 70% so it will be a little muggy.
