Launch Protocol

Getting Ready to Fly:

  • We do not charge fees at our launches.
  • Please bring your own launch system and launch pad.  Our range is run as “Misfire Alley”.
  • To fly your model rocket, first prepare it for flight and get it ready on the launch pad.
  • You are responsible for flying your rocket safely; if you have any reason to believe your rocket will not deliver a safe flight, then fix it or do not fly it.
  • Fill out a “Flight Card” (available here or at the launch field) for each flight attempted.
  • Present your completed flight card to the Range Safety Officer (RSO; the person with the florescent vest).
  • The RSO will check the safety of the range, the sky above the range and then countdown for your launch.
  • After launch, the RSO will make sure the range is safe and tell you when you can go recover your rocket.
