We have been attempting to schedule a high power rocket launch. Weather has not been cooperating with us.
We were trying very hard to schedule something for this weekend but again whether does not look like it's going to cooperate with us as we are going to get heavy rains today and possible rains again on Saturday.

TRA is getting more deeply involved with IREC / Spaceport America Cup. Part of this means they are soliciting flyers with mad skills who are able to help teams and potentially travel to New Mexico for the event. NASA SLI offers a stipend to mentors travelling to Huntsville - $1000. While there was talk of trying to come up with something similar for Spaceport, so far there is nothing available. It is between a team (and their school) and the volunteer mentor to decide who is paying for what. BTW, for those traveling to Las Cruces, it is far cheaper to fly to El Paso, rent a car and drive the rest of the way than it is to fly in Las Cruces. Besides The Spaceport America Cup, there is the Argonia cup and other competitions (or there were before the pandemic and likely will be again).
| Elaine RussellPosted:21 Dec 2020 03:19 AM | Subject: Mentors for High Power Student Teams The Tripoli Outreach Committee is looking for mentors for college, university, and high school student competition teams. The primary responsibility would be to ensure that students have the basic understanding of high-power rocket construction with emphasis on a safe flight and recovery. We would prefer that mentors be TRA L3 and will consider very experienced TRA L2 flyers for this. Please reach out to flyers that you feel would be interested and have the skills for this opportunity and ask them if they would mind if a member of the Outreach Committee contacted them to discuss further. Warm regards in the holiday season! Elaine Russell Outreach Committee Chair TRA 4679 L3, TAP |

Good afternoon everyone.
At our last general meeting it was brought up by a few members that we should have our own local club forums for discussions that is not in a blog type format. We listened.
Introducing The St. Louis Rocketry Association Forums. We are using single sign on from the website to make it easy. Once you log into the website, click on the Forums tab in the menu bar to be taken to the forums.
There are both Public Forums, open to all registered users, club members or not, and private forums only for club members. If you are a club member and do not see the private forums, please let us know and we will resolve the issue quickly.
There is already activity on the forums and an offer of help from a follow member so be sure to check them out soon.
