We are a go for launch this Saturday, July 8, 2017

It looks like we have a great weekend coming up as of today, so are currently* a “GO” for our Rocket launch this Saturday, We start at 9 AM, help setting up is appreciated and we look start launching at 9:30.

Due to the crops growing on our Launch field we have an alternative field we will be launching on. It is located just another .5 mile of our current location as the crow flies.

The launch site is still located on University of Rhode Island Property. but is off of Rt 138 on Plains Road Park along the road near the Baseball field (we will instruct otherwise on site ass needed) See below map

This may be a temporary relocation we will keep you all posted.

The launch site is located on University of Rhode Island Property. The Launch field is located across Rt 138 from the University of Rhode Island’s Ryan Center parking lot at the end of Peckham Farm Road. There is an easier alternative entrance on Ministerial Rd (Route 110) just north of West Kingston Elementary School on a dirt road. STAY ON THE DIRT ROADS LEADING TO THE LAUNCH SITE and do not drive on the grass or other areas AND PLEASE DRIVE SLOW.

We will update the website as to any changes in the Weather as to “GO” / “NO GO” status. Moving to Sunday as a rain date may be problematic as it is Mothers day, but let’s keep our figures crossed for Saturday.

Next Launch is scheduled for Saturday, May 13th, 2017

We will update the post as we get closer to the launch date.

We are a go for a Launch! Due to the weather and ground conditions, this month’s Launch is scheduled for this Sunday, April 9th @ 9 AM.

It’s been a while since we launched so load’m up and rack’m!

Darn! I was all ready to go !!

Our next Launch is scheduled for March 11, 2017.

We are watching the weather and will make “GO” / “NOGO” call 24 hrs before the launch.  We will use Sunday as an alternative.

Based on the weather this winter it could be 70 and sunny or minus 20 and snowing sideways with thunder and lightning.  Cross your figures.

If the weather is marginal we may do a limited low-mid power Launch to accommodate any TARC teams.

Looks like we are going to the moon again!!!!!
