Our next model rocket launch is scheduled for this coming Saturday, June 30th at Buder Park. Please note that this is a change from the originally announced date of July 1.

The weather forecast calls for light winds and a high temperature of 97. Right now, it shows the heat index exceeding 90 degrees before 9:00 am. As we have done in the past, we will be moving our setup time to 8:00 am to try to beat the heat a little bit. Also - we will likely be packing things up by 11:00 or thereabouts, so please plan accordingly. We do not (as far as I know) have any student groups joining us this month. Please come prepared with sunscreen and a way to stay hydrated.

As previously announced by John Buckley, this launch will be sanctioned as a NAR NRC (National Rocketry Competition) launch. Link to official NRC launch information. If you have any questions about the competition aspect of the launch, please contact John at jbuckley1996@gmail.com. Please note - if you are a competitor and would like to continue competition launches after the sport range closes (we know how great those thermals are when it's a thousand degrees out!) please make sure you bring your own launch equipment.

If you have any other questions, please email me at admin@stlouisrocketry.com.
