Attendance will be granted on a first come, first served basis, so sign up as soon as you can.
There is a waitlist available, so if you make a reservation and can't attend, please cancel your reservation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund so someone else can use your spot.
Please consider volunteering to work for an hour during the launch to help keep our launch running smoothly.
You must be qualified to serve as LCO or RSO, but the other positions are available to anyone.
Launch operations will cease, if there are not sufficient volunteers!
Public Health precautions in currently effect include:
- If you or anyone in your family are sick or may have been exposed to someone who's sick, stay home.
- Consider staying home if you or any family member is at an increased risk of COVID-19 complications.

As always, while a specific waiver altitude and motor limit is expected, field and sky conditions at flight time may dictate restricted operations. Be sure to wear sunscreen, a hat, long pants and long sleeves, closed toe shoes, plenty of water, and always recover rockets with a partner. Watch out for gopher holes, snakes, and other desert hazards when recovering rockets.
