Beginning this calendar year NAR has made changes in the Junior HPR Level 1 program. Effective now, there is a written test that must be passed before the Junior Level 1 certification flight. ROC will have the tests and new Junior Level 1 forms at registration.

There has been no change in the certification process for adult NAR members.

For complete information, including practice tests, please refer to the NAR site. Note that for Junior Level 1 the applicant must be a current NAR member at least 14 years old at the time of the test.

After an inspection of the lakebed, we are confident that the February 8 launch is a go.

The lakebed is dry and there is no rain currently forecast between now and the launch.

So everyone should have rockets ready and assemble at the lakebed.

We expect to begin launching at 08:00 on Saturday, February 8.

Due to current conditions the Jan 11th regular scheduled monthly launch is canceled.  The recent storm brought significant rain and blanketed Lucerne with snow.  Unfortunately, the lakebed hadn’t even dryed up from the last storm.

Due to recent precipitation, and some snow still present, the lakebed is not expected to be safe to drive on by the December launch.
The board has decided to cancel the December launch, and we will be monitoring conditions for the January launch.

IF you choose, Amazon will donate a percentage of your qualified purchases to ROC, to further our outreach work. It does not cost you extra.
