November Mill Springs Launch Saturday

Published on November 8, 2021

Come on out to SoAR’s launch from Mill Springs Academy on Saturday from 9 AM – 2 PM. Yes, we should be on winter hours now, but special circumstances require the earlier time. Weather should be sunny, but it will be very chilly with the temperature hovering around 50 degrees, and the winds will be high at 11 to 14 MPH from the northwest, and gusts up to 22 MPH..

Mill Springs is our low-power field, suitable for rockets that fly no more than 1000 feet or so. With the winds this time, you may want to keep them even lower, and either reef your parachutes, or switch to streamers. 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.
