May - ROCC activities

DateTuesday, April 22, 2008 at 6:09PM

For those of you who missed the April launch here is the discussion regarding the field and launch status.

The Barley is starting to "Head-Out", as Kip puts it, so from here on out to harvest time it has to be cared for gingerly. As it dries out to harvest which Kip said would be about the last week of May, first week of June there will be no way to fly in the field. So the May Launch dates are postponed. Kip also noted that the Corn will more than likely go in on the North field this week.
However, since we are donating our equipment to the NSL launch in Orangeburg May 24th,25th, and 26h I suggest we have a launch equipment cleanup day and work day at the Farm say Saturday afternoon May 17th from 1:00-4:00. This would include prep time for the new safe, Brad, line up your welder. Sandy, I'll get the specs on the hoods this week.
I would like to have all the equipment cleaned and checked out for Todd and Terry to delivery to Orangeburg on Friday May 23rd.

The registration deadline is coming up soon for the NSL launch so please sign up ASAP. (See Todd's post below) The NSL launch will provide a great opprotunity for us to participate in a National launch on a great field. Please try to attend.

More news to follow, so please stay tuned.
