| 2011 Launch Schedule |
This is the launch schedule for 2011. Launches are on Saturday, and Sunday may be the backup day if a launch is cancelled due to weather. We have two sites, but most launches will be at Twin Bridges and occasionally at Billings (depending on interest). The launches with links are major national launches of interest.
Launches usually run from 9am to 5pm, weather and other factors permitting.
Directions to the launch sites.
The Twin Bridges launch site in western Montana has a 25,000 foot AGL waiver and higher altitudes are available. Please contact Steve Shannon one week prior to launch date if higher altitudes are needed.
The Billings waiver is for 5,000 feet AGL. A waiver does not exclude aircraft from entering the area of rocketry operations. All it does is inform flight operation officials and pilots that these operations are being conducted in a certain area and that the persons in charge will be responsible not to exceed the limitations presented in the waiver. The launch will be halted when any aircraft enters that airspace until the coordinator deems that the space is once again clear.
Tripoli Montana flys under the Safety Rules set forth by the Tripoli Rocketry Association and the FAA. We recognize both the NAR and CAR certification processes as well.
Check on the weather forcast for the Twin Bridges launch site.
Check on the weather forcast for the Billings launch site.
Only Tripoli- or NAR-certified motors may be used. No Skidmark motors allowed at either site due to fire concerns.
Only biodegradable wadding may be used for recovery.
