You Are Invited... To SARA's Rescheduled October Saturday launch at the SARA TIMPA launch site near Picture Rocks! Rain cancelled the Saturday October 31st launch, so we are conducting it a week later, on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7th.

REGISTER FOR THE SATURDAY PORTION OF THE LAUNCH HERE! (If you are attending Friday as well, please register for the Friday portion of the launch.)

IF YOU REGISTERED FOR THE OCTOBER 31ST LAUNCH, YOU REMAIN REGISTERED FOR THIS LAUNCH.

LAUNCH PLAN:

SATURDAY:

7 - 12pm = Regular model, mid-power and high power launches.

12 - 1pm = Tear down! (Please plan to remain at the launch to help tear down the range)

The usual high power waiver will be in place: 4,500' AGL

Pre-registration is required.
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.
Sign up for a volunteer task (task list on the registration page) 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 is 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.

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.

We look forward to seeing you at the launch!
