| 5/28 Mayhem at Northern
Colorado. Friday was windy. Saturday was OK, with cool temperature
and low ceiling all day, but we got a lot of flights off. |
|
6/27 Spring
Fling in Hartsel with Tripoli Colorado was beautiful on Saturday
morning, with lots of great flying, then it got windy and hot. Sunday,
a few rockets struggled into the wind but we eventually gave up. |
|
5/6 4-H
TARC team practicing for finals. |
|
7/23 Challenger launch
on a beautiful day; warm and sunny wth a light breeze. We had good
attendance even though there were no big groups. Had to quit at 10
a. m. because of the fire ban. |
|
|
7/30 ULA/SCORE/
COSROCS event at Pueblo. The "Future" flew on two N booster motors
and one N sustainer motor. There were around 1000 people at this
event. Our TARC teams did demo launches, and there were many high
power flights. |

Red and white rocket with
blue flame. |

With a .29 sec. F240

fiberglass nose cone leaves the pad in a hurry. |

Burgandy rocket with lots
of motor. |
L motor on a
huge yellow and black split fin rocket. |
Gorgeous black metalflake
rocket with airbrushed flames. Sweet L3 cert flight. Al Zelenak's
scratch built C'mon Baby (light my fire). |
"Sparky" is the name
of the rocket, not the type of motor. . 6/25
Spring Fling. |
Ken Reilly's dark
colored 54mm near-minimum rocket with the big metalflake finish.
It goes forever.. 6/25
Spring Fling. |
Yep,
it's Spool-a-palooza two. A mass spool launch is tremendous fun.
Lots of fire and smoke.. 6/25 Spring Fling. |

Drag race between two high power rockets. 6/25
Spring Fling. |
|
|
7/30/11 Pueblo, United
Launch Alliance launches "Future", The Largest Rocket Ever Flown
in Colorado. |
|
|
7/30/11 Here's the
Ball Aerospace "Stars n' Stripes" with really cool motors on the
fins firing forward to limit altitude. The thumbnail above clearly
shows the forward thrust. The main motor is an N. |
|
7/30/11 The "Icarus"
intern rocket with two payloads on an L motor. The video mislabels
it as an N. |
|
7/30/11 The "Reliant
Robin" flies on an M class motor (mislabeled as an N in the video)
with two payloads. It's a ULA intern project. |
|
7/30/11 The largest
non-ULA launch of the day clocks in with a K motor. A thing of beauty. |
|
7/30/11 ULA supports
Team America Rocketry Challenge teams in Colorado, so two TARC teams
did demonstration launches. This one deploys very late, making it
a nail-biter. |

flight from the Cheyenne Mountain team. Better deployment this time. |
|
|
7/30/11 Largest crowd so far assembled
at Hudson Ranch for a rocketry event. How big could we get if ULA
and Chili Blaster were combined? Only time will tell. |
|
|
7/30/11 "Cosmos" I-class motor. Scared
some people with a late start. |
