From kriks at pacbell.net Thu Jul 10 23:33:36 2003 From: kriks at pacbell.net (Martin Krikorian) Date: Fri Feb 13 19:28:19 2004 Subject: [BA-Rockets] June Launch Report and News Message-ID: <380770CB-B361-11D7-AB48-00306546CE7A@pacbell.net> The June launch was very busy, but not hectic. We had a lot of great volunteers who helped from beginning to end. Even with the restricted launch area, we kept busy all day. Norm Newlon took some pictures, which you can see at http://home.earthlink.net/~nnewlon/deanza0603/index.htm July will be more of a problem. I visited DeAnza this week and observed that B lot is now fenced off, and the rocket eating trees along the edges of the lot have been cut down and hauled away. The next step is tractors and graders to flatten everything along the edges of the lot. We won't be launching there any time soon, and likely never again. (Dale Cherne got to make history at the launch, as the last person launching a rocket at DeAnza.) There is still activity going on to transfer our launch activities to either Lockheed-Martin in Sunnyvale, or NASA Ames / Moffet Field. Unfortunately it looks bleak for getting a July launch off at this point, as even when we finally get the permissions, the insurance paperwork will take a couple of weeks to complete. We will stay on top of the situation, though, and attempt to get the next launch scheduled as soon as possible. Obviously our Big Bertha parachute duration contest is being delayed again. I will announce the launch when it will occur. If anyone has suggestions of contacts for launch sites other than the two mentioned above, please contact the board, at board@baynar.org The June launches went as follows: 1 - 1/4 A 1 - 1/2 A 52 - A 59 - B 56 - C 9 - D 2 - E 1 - CB 2 stage 1 - DCC 2 stage 182 Launches 185 Motors Equivalent of a J motor The few E and multi-stage launches we tried did exactly what we expected - landed in the construction zone! -Marty K -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
