SoAR Launch Sites
Where it all comes together. And goes up.
And comes back down, safely.
Always remember — These fields are private property. We are there as guests.
They may only be used in conjunction with a scheduled SoAR launch.
Mill Springs Academy
We fly here on the second Saturday of every month. This is our low power field (up to D power). That’s not to say experienced rocketeers can’t use larger motors (E, F, and G), but we recommend that altitudes be kept down to around 1000 feet maximum so that you have the best chance to get your rockets back!
Dawsonville / Ball Ground
This is our mid power field (up to G motors) where we usually go on the fourth Saturday of the month. It is hilly, and it is active pasture (i.e. Watch where you step! And smile at the cows!)
GRITS field near Tifton/Nashville, GA
Our big launch of the year, Turkey & GRITS, is held on this field, where we allow high power rockets to fly up to 14000 feet! We usually only fly here once a year, on Thanksgiving weekend, but there may be other opportunities during the year when the field isn’t planted.
Coming soon!
New site to be revealed. Keep watching!

Milner
Our newest field for high power (low & mid-power, too!) is this goat farm about midway between Atlanta and Macon. It will alternate with Dawsonville on the fourth Saturday of the month. Maximum altitude for high power is 4000′.
GRITS field near Tifton/Nashville, GA
Our big launch of the year, Turkey & GRITS, is held on this field, where we allow high power rockets to fly up to 14000 feet! We usually only fly here once a year, on Thanksgiving weekend, but there may be other opportunities during the year when the field isn’t planted.
Taylorsville
On selected Sundays in the colder months, we fly high power rockets on this field up to 5500 ft above ground level. We have to pay for use of this field (a shooting range and corn field), so there is a small flight fee. Spectators are welcome at no charge! Launches here will usually be placed on the schedule in the early fall when we know more about the field owner’s plans.
Coming soon!
