Future Projects and Launches

The future is bright!  We have a great core group of people who want to build and fly large projects.  We’ll be well represented at a number of the big launches this year, and we have a couple new projects in the works.

Our Fleet for 2009:

  • Big Yeller – This rocket has flown several time and will fly again.  When and where are still to be determined, but we’re planning on flying it at our home field in North Branch early in the 2009 Minnesota rocket season.
  • Locomotive Breath – This is a brand new project.  We’re planning to fly it at BALLS this year if not before.  It’s a whole lot of motor with some fins and a nose cone thrown in for good measure.
  • Flying Red Bull Table of Death – It’s a table, it’s a rocket, watch it fly.
  • Yet to be name Keg Lofter

Launches our members are planning to attend:

  • Winter Nationals 2009

  • Fire on the Farm 2009

  • Rocket Mavericks 2009 International Civilian Space Competition
