We completed our annual meeting Friday Jan 8, 2016. The new launch schedule can be found on the launch schedule page of this site. A couple of launch schedule notes. SPUDRoc will occur April 30, May 1 as the primary dates. If we move it, the backup will be two weeks later to avoid Mother's Day. The Bird's of Prey primary date is Oct 1 as a single day launch. We will decide in September whether to change it to a two day launch. We may also move it later in the month. Officers remain the same as last year. Greg Spohn is Prefect, Neil Pyke is the Secretary/Treasurer, and Rick Thome will manage the equipment trailer. Thanks guys. We are adding a Liability Waiver that all fliers must sign. My goal is to make it available from the web site. We also agreed to purchase a tower. Donations toward it's cost are greatly appreciated.

We are hoping to fly this coming weekend October 1,2. We need to get a read on the weather and get a final OK from the BLM fire manager. Stay tuned!

Equipment set-up at 9:30a.m. with the 40,000' AGL waiver activated from 10am until 6pm or until there are no more rockets flying.  Port-a-potties will be on site.  Spectators are welcome to attend, but are forewarned that high-power rocketry is an inherently dangerous activity and observers assume all risk.  Please, no pets allowed, per BLM rules.

Insured non-members* are welcome to fly with us.  Those over 18 may pay a $5 launch fee (under 18 always fly for free).  If you are interested in flying rockets at our launches, but are not insured, please contact an officer of TIR and we can discuss your options for becoming an insured flyer.

*All members of Tripoli and members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) are insured.  Boy Scouts as part of a scout activity, TARC teams, and sanctioned school groups are covered by Tripoli insurance.

Rocketry is an inherently dangerous activity.  All participants are required to read and sign a release and waiver of liability.
