SARA's September Member Launch is a go! SARA has received FAA authorization to operate Class 2 high power rockets from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Sunday, September 16, 2018, at the TIMPA facility near Picture Rocks. The operating altitude is from the surface of the Earth to 6,500 ft. above ground level. Note that despite the hot weather, this is our first launch of the season on the winter schedule, with a later start and longer hours. As always, the use of spark producing motors is subject to the Range Safety Officer's review of field conditions. Do not automatically assume that spark producing motors may be flown. This launch is also a NAR-sanctioned NRC launch, so come out to try your hand at NAR competition rocketry in these events:
Sunday's weather forecast calls for sunny skies with low winds, and temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Be sure to come dressed for a morning outside in the Tucson summer weather, with long sleeves, long pants, closed toe shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water! We hope to see you out there!
