Certification Launches:
If anyone is planning on doing a certification flight (NAR or TRA on Sat, TRA-
only on Sun), if you have not already contacted anyone to let us know you 
plans, then please contact our RSO and launch coordinators at:
	rso at nrvr dot org

and let them know:
* What your launching
* What rocket and size motor you're flying
* What the approx/expected altitude is
* If you simulated the flight, what program(s) you used
 (RockSim, OpenRocket, etc)
* If you plan on flying over 2,000 feet (we recommend dual deploy)
* If you plan on flying over 6k feet, we need advance notice

We will also have a rocket motor vendor on site, so letting us know what 
size/type motor you need, we can try to ensure we have whatever you need there 
to have a successful launch (including lender motor casings, black powder, 
etc).

Bob.. Chuck.. 
You all have anything to add?

Thanks,

Tweeks

The only comments I have at this point concern the weather and site access.
Although the forecast has improved, the soaking rains that we've had could
create problems with access off the main lane.  It is imperative that anyone
entering the site to please follow all signs and stay on the directed path.
If for some reason something happens and you find yourself stuck, please
stop and find someone associated with the launch.  We will ensure that you
get out with as little damage to the ground as possible.

 

Remember, being able to launch at Kentland Farms is a privilege, so everyone
please be responsible and treat it gently.

Divyanshu, 


Yes, students will be allowed to launch their own rockets for free on Saturday.? They will of course have to pass our safety inspection prior to launch ?and use only certified, commercially available motors (no home made motors). 



Thanks, 

Chuck Neff

	Success!
Message-ID: <201109121236.26315.tweeks@rackspace.com>

Hey all..

Wow.. what an INCREDIBLE weekend launch eh?!?
Asking around (and talking to our food servers), it sounds like we had around 
80 (or more) in attendance on Saturday, and around 50-60 trickling through on 
Saturday.

Specific Kudos:
Before I get into all the exciting photos and video of the launch, a big 
thanks needs to go out to:
* VAST (Valley Aerospace)/Chuck Neff for organizing, facilitating and doing 
much of the heavy lifting of the event.
* Bob Schoner, our local TRA ace in the hole with VT Aerospace, VT Agg, and 
local "know-it-all guy" on all things Rocketry related
* Rackspace / Rack-Gives-Back + Doug Juanarena (BBurg Site leader), for the 
free-food/drinks, Racker-Volunteers and "other heavy lifting" (literally), 
porta-potty/financing, etc

Pictures & Videos:
If you have photos or videos to share, please let me know and I'll give you an 
upload account to send us your hi-res content directly to the NRVR server for 
processing and posting! (you can't send attachments to the mail list, but you 
can link to web based flickr,picasa, etc).

But for now, one of our Rackers with a really nice DSLR camera uploaded all of 
his non-video, 10th and 11th content here:

I have a ton more to share, plus some great video content including some from 
Bob's awesome 9/11 Dedication launch on Sunday! (really sweet launch on an L 
2300 motor!!)

Look over the photos above, and if you spot one of your launches, please share 
and tell us about it! (I'll be adding notes to the gallery of photos that I'm 
preparing this week)

Stay tuned!

That video was done by Will Dunn from Rackspace.. Nice job Will! We need you 
at all of our launches! :)

Tweeks

We have a ton more photos and video.. I just got done sorting, re-encoding and 
compiling it all.. It should be ready to upload tomorrow night. I'll send out 
a link as soon as it's up.
