Here’s an announcement in my email about a rocket event this June:<\/p>\n

Northwest Xtreme Rocket Show – Oregon Rocketry<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

OregonRocketry is proud to announce the 4th<\/sup>\u00a0annual national rocketry event Northwest Xtreme Rocket Show or NXRS. This event attracts those involved in extreme and research rocketry from across the United States of America. This year\u2019s event will be held June 27th<\/sup>, 28th<\/sup>, and 29th<\/sup>\u00a02014 at our premier site located in Brothers Oregon. Join us for NXRS and\u00a0Get Your Xtreme On!<\/i><\/p>\n

NXRS is a research rocketry event founded by your host Robert Krausert and director Fred Azinger. NXRS is sanctioned under Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA), and affiliated through our member club OregonRocketry. Attended by some of the most talented and extreme high-power rocketeers from more than 12 states. This national event is so attractive because of having the third highest FAA waiver for altitude, which is 42.280 feet Above Ground Level (AGL).<\/p>\n

With the new rules introduced last year National Association of Rocketry (NAR) members in good standing are allowed to fly up to and including your certification level at this TRA sanctioned event. NXRS encourages use of both research and commercial motors.\u00a0Spectators are allowed at this launch, but are not permitted in preparation areas or past the flight line. All spectators must sign a liability waiver and pay the event fee of $20. We encourage all who attend this event to have experience with high power rocketry and be familiar with safety risks. Children and pets are strongly discouraged. Please see the \u201cResearch Launch\u201d page for full details of current rules for research launches.<\/p>\n

Our NXRS goal this year is to exceed 1,000,000 Newton Seconds (Ns) of rocket fuel burned over the three day event. You are expected to experience people flying rockets where the motor fuel alone can weigh more than yourself. And that is for one flight. Attendance at NXRS can easily exceed 250 people with hundreds of absolutely life memorable flights from rocket ships of all shapes, sizes, and capabilities. Sooo\u2026 Whether you walk, bike, drive, fly or break out of jail \u2013 do not miss NXRS 2014.<\/p>\n
