Launch info for the weekend:

Official launch announcement:

Saturday and Sunday January 19th and 20th from 11:00 to 5:00 each day

ROCC Sport launch. RSOs and the LCO will still be more stringent than normal, especially if no rain occurs, due to recent Drought conditions.

This weekend is the first scheduled launch for 2008 and with predicted rain Thursday we look good for a full up launch and contest. One Note: as of Tuesday, Saturday is predicted to be Windy, winds 15-20 and Sunday much better around 10. This could effect our launch and maybe the contest. So stay tuned and watch for updates Friday night into Saturday.
