About Our Launches:
- Our purpose and goal is to have fun while safely flying model and high power rockets.
- You don’t need to be a Fox Valley Rocketeers member to fly at our launches and we do not charge any launch fees.
- We fly under the Model Rocket and High Power Rocket Safety Codes of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) using only commercially available, certified rocket engines.
- Our rocket ranges are under the control of a Range Safety Officer (RSO) who is legally responsible for range safety. Please listen to and follow any instructions given by the RSO.
- Remember that safety is everyone’s job. You know your rocket best; if you have any reason to believe it will not deliver a safe flight, then fix it or don’t fly it.
- We have a centrally controlled launch system available if you do not have launch equipment.
- We ask you to bring along a 25-50’ extension cord and your launch pad and its launch rod.
- If you don’t have either of those, we have plenty of member pads and rods for you to use.
- Our most important goal is to fly safely.
