Spring Launch Season Over, But There's Still Summer Rocketry

Our June 19th launch, one of our latest spring launches ever, concludes this year's spring launch season.  Unfortunately, fire weather danger prevents us from using our launch site until cooler temperatures return in October.  Until then there are still several regional launches that TIR members will be attending.  In July, Oregon Rocketry will have their Desert Heat launch on 7/16 through 7/18, and Desert Extreme on 8/13-8/15.  Several members are also planning to attend the annual pilgrimage to the Blackrock desert of northwest Nevada for the annual XPRS launch.  This launch sponsored by Aero-Pac features an international student competition called CANSAT, as well as experimental launch days, and four days of commercial launches with an FAA waiver to 100,000' AGL.  This is a great opportunity to experience the Blackrock Playa, one of the best rocket venues in the world, and see some really interesting "extreme" projects.  Come to one of the club meetings to learn more about these regional launches.

 

Next TIR Launch

The next TIR club launch is scheduled for Saturday, October 2nd at the Swan Falls launch site.  FAA waiver to 16,700' AGL with windows to 20,700' will be available.  As usual, port-a-potties will be on-site.  We welcome all to come out and fly with us.  Kids can fly with us for free, adults over 18 pay a small, $5 equipment maintenance fee.  Spectators are welcome - we recommend you bring shade, seats, and food and beverages.  Range set-up begins at 9 a.m. and the launch will begin at 10 a.m. and continue until 6 p.m. or we run out of rockets. We hope to see you there!
