Everything is looking good for our June 24the launch. This will be
our first launch at the Paul Meek Ranch, halfway between Kerrville and
Fredericksburg. Once your trun off of highway 16 on to Alfred Petsch
Road follow the signs to the rocket launch. This will be a FAA noticed
launch for rockets up to 3.3 pound and 125 grams of propellant.
The area received a couple of inches of rain over the weekend so
everything is green and less flamable. The County Commissioners met
last week and decided not to impose a burn ban for Gillespie County so
the Meek Ranch is available for the launch. They won't meet again
until June 26th.
The 7 day weather forecast looks good. Some rain is expected in the
middle of the week and Saturday will have temperatures in the mid
80's, winds below 10 mph and only a 10% chance of rain. Be sure to
bring sun block and lots of water.
