Weather Threatens February Mill Springs Launch This Saturday

Published on February 10, 2021

Join us this Saturday at Mill Springs Academy for this month’s SoAR Launch, from 11 AM to 4 PM.

Whatever else you do, please check your email and/or the SoAR website before coming out for the launch.

Right now, the weather forecast is pretty darn awful, with an 80-100 percent chance of rain. However, if the system moves through faster, we may be able to get the launch in.

A go/no go announcement will certainly be made by Saturday morning.  If the bad forecast holds, we may be able to settle the matter on Friday night.

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. .

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.
