Join us this Saturday at Mill Springs Academy for this month’s SoAR Launch, from 9 AM to 2 PM. The National Weather service says it’ll be partly sunny, with high chance of rain after 1 PM, but very small amounts are predicted and cloud cover does not reach the 80% threshold, which usually means it will look threatening, but probably stay dry . Highs around 80. Winds will be easterly at 9 MPH. We’re still going to take some precaution and start the launch two hours earlier to avoid any precipitation or thunder. Try to get there as early as you can for the best shot at getting your rockets off the pad.

We will, of course, be continuing with social distancing and wearing masks is strongly encouraged (please wear a mask when at prep table and at safety check/launch control, and when interacting with others). Remember, you’re protecting them, and they’re protecting you. We’re still hoping to work with the Electronic Flight Card system (sign up at soarrocketry.org/cards ) but it still won’t be fully operational and traditional flight cards will be available at the prep table.

This is our low-power field (we recommend altitudes of no more than 1000 feet to assure you getting your rocket back), but if you know what you are doing it is possible to fly mid power successfully.
