The landowner has given us approval for a night launch during our 2-day launch events in March and October. We have specific procedures to follow, but these should not be a problem.

Night Launch Registration

Night Launch



Pre-registration for night launch is required, both for participants and spectators.

​All participants and spectators must be on the field by 7:30 pm. Absolutely no entry to the field will be permitted after dark.

Sunset is 7:43pm, launches will begin between 8:00 and 8:15pm, and will conclude by approximately 9:45pm. No rockets will be launched after 10:00pm.

​All participants and spectators will remain on the field until night-launch operations are complete. At the conclusion of night-launch operations, all persons leaving the field will do so as a group, and will be escorted by a TBRA member. This person is responsible for securing the gate, and notifying the landowner.

​All rockets must be equipped with an externally visible light source during descent and recovery. This may be a chemical light-stick attached to the shock cord, secured in a clear payload section, or battery operated LED lights. Chemical light sticks taped to the rocket body will not be permitted.

​All flights will be restricted to 4,000 feet AGL and below. All motors will be restricted to "F"-impulse and lower.
