  • SARA Launch at Udall Park

    SARA has received permission from the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department to host low power launches at Udall Park on specific dates. 

    These launches are generally limited to flights up to D motors, up to 1000 feet above ground level, and excluding clustered or staged rockets. This is not a blanket authorization for anyone to launch rockets in Udall Park or any other City of Tucson park, and these activities are prohibited without permission for City of Tucson Parks and Recreation. The site is open desert, with some cactus and debris throughout the recovery area. But it's a good area for rocket flights, with few tall trees and generally walkable terrain.

    Public health precautions in 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

    Parking for the launch site is off of Sabino Canyon Road, South of Tanque Verde Road. For driving directions, refer to this Google map: https://goo.gl/maps/CQtzYgrvHiyU5BDT7. From the overflow parking across from Ramada # 9 and southern baseball fields, follow the dirt trail 250 yards to the southeast. You can park near the softball fields or in the overflow parking lot during SARA launches at Udall Park. Park staff usually open the gates to the black gravel overflow parking area, and if it is open, you are welcome to drive directly to the launch site; the route and range head area are shown below in yellow, and is marked by SARA signs during launches.Udall Park Launch Area


    SARA will provide launch equipment, including 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 inch launch rods and a 1010 launch rail.

    • 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 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.
      • 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.

    YOU ARE INVITED to actively participate in creating DH24!

    Desert Heat 2024 will run April 5 - 7, 2024. We will set up and conduct our volunteer launch on the 5th, with free dinner served to all that evening. The main event will run all day Saturday April 6th, culminating in a night launch, conditions depending, and will conclude on Sunday April 7th with flying in the morning and tearing down beginning at noon.  

    Planning meetings will be held generally on Thursday evenings 7:00 - 8:00pm via Zoom. 

    We'll meet every few weeks at first, and then weekly as we approach this event. The learning and feedback we've gathered from DH22 and DH23 will be applied to DH24, making it an even more wonderful event.

    Our mission is to cater first to our fliers, then to our spectators. Many fly with SARA only during Desert Heat. We want to make this a most memorable event for all who attend. And with your help we can do so.

    Another mission is to make sure all those planning and volunteering get to fly! So if you are hesitant to participate in DH24 planning because of this concern, don't be concerned!
