Launch window open for flights 1000h - 1800h

Launch briefing 15 minutes before the launch window opens at launch control. If you are not able to arrive by this time please find someone from the team at launch control who will be able to pass on the required information.

Launch control is located at ///sunset.kinks.corrosive with pads in the area around. This allows for all motor sizes and altitudes up to 1350m/4500ft. If you are launching to a higher altitude, please consider our experimental launch site

Facilities

Car parking: A large area of hard standing is available around the site. Ulster Rocketry does not accept any responsibility for your vehicle when on the site.

Toilets: There are available toilets on the site and will be open on launch days.

Launch rails: We have a number of launch rails available, including unsupported 3030 rails and some launch towers of various sizes. We welcome people bringing their own launch rails.

Motor Handling

Motors should only be loaded into the rockets once other parts are ready for flight.

Ignitors should NEVER be inserted into motors before the rocket is assembled on the pad.

If using electronics, please ensure there is a safety mechanism that prohibits the changes firing before the pad i.e. internal arm switches, electronics isolated till vertical or a screw switch between the charge and computer.

Final Comments

Please make sure we respect the land and tidy up after ourselves so that this opportunity can continue.

Please do enjoy the day and let one of the team (identifiable either wearing high-vis or an Ulster Rocketry jacket) know if there's anything we can do to help.
