High Power Launch in Taylorsville, March 27/28

Published on March 16, 2021

This event has been cancelled.

This will be a two day launch.  On March 27th, the launch will start at 9 AM and halt at 5 PM.  On March 28th, the launch will start at noon and halt at 5 PM. There will NOT be an on-site motor vendor at this launch. Get high power motors from Chris’ Rocket Supplies before you go.

Current forecast is for showers likely both days.

Maximum altitude for high power rockets is 5500 feet above ground level. If a rocket goes off range, you must come get the field liaison before attempting to recover your rocket.

The flight fee for this launch will be $15 for one day, $20 for both days.  We must pay the field owner $750 for the use of the field. You can come and just watch for free as always.

Fliers are expected to sign up for range duty

  • Launch Control Officer (LCO) – No certification required.  You should have some experience running LCO
  • Range Safety Officer (RSO) – You must be at least level 2 certified by NAR/TRA/CAR.
  • Pad Assignment – You must be alive and not have any contagious disease!
  • Range Setup – Any entity may do pad setup…heartbeat preferred
  • Range Take Down – Like range setup
  • Registration Table – Age 16 and up.  This is just collecting launch fees and handing out bracelets.

If no one shows up for setup, we will start late. If no one stays for take down, Jorge will be late for the next couple of launches. If we have open spots for LCO or RSO, the launch stops until someone volunteers.

If you see Alan Isdell, please thank him for his efforts to make this launch happen!
