URI has granted us limited access to Peckham Farm for our first launch of the year on 9/12 (finally!) Set-up will begin at 9:00, and we will launch until shortly after lunch. In order to keep with social distancing policies, we may limit the number of people who can launch. Masks must be worn at all times on URI property.
To celebrate the return of RIMRA launches, we will not charge any launch fees for this launch, but there are a few important protocols that we will need to enforce in order to use the URI field:
- Please sign up and tell us what you will be flying using this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdKJwPzw1IgvYgcdJnCoRgbPBiC2CX6KMmNBlKOzUZ3W3ZwTg/viewform. You will not be able to launch without pre-registering your flights using the above form.
- You will also need to complete URI’s health assessment before coming to the field: https://web.uri.edu/coronavirus/daily-health-assessment/
