Trajectory forecast for today’s launch. Its going to go a long way – we will be adding more lift than normal to try to shorten its path. (Less time in the jet stream). Come join us for today’s launch @ Apple Valley High!

LAUNCH SITE FINAL: Apple Valley High School
Apple Valley High School (click for link to Google Maps). Sorry so far south, but the jet stream wants to take us into tough terrain if we launched closer to the cities.
Tomorrow am 8:30 prep | 10 launch. See you there!
Even if you can’t make it you can track us here:
We may be adding another Payload GPS link tomorrow morning, so check back in for updates.
