Our launch site is on BLM land for which we require permission to use.  The BLM requires that NO off-road vehicle use is permitted.

Launch Phone: 939-9460

We strongly encourage everyone to call the launch phone prior to any launch for a recorded message with the latest launch or reschedule information. Sometimes launches are canceled due to bad weather or high fire danger. If a launch is cancelled due to environmental conditions then often we will re-schedule for the following Saturday. Remember to call for an up-to-date report BEFORE you leave for the launch site!

Conditions permitting, Tripoli Idaho launches run all day provided there are still rockets to fly. However, most
larger rockets are usually launched in the mornings to take advantage of calm wind conditions.  Come early and remember to bring a lunch and water.
