NSL 2008
May 24-26, 2008
Orangeburg, South Carolina is a name that is synonymous with big launches and big rockets. It has been the site of two LDRS events in 1996 and in 2000. It is no stranger to big crowds at the annual Freedom Launch. It should be no surprise that for the fiftieth anniversary of the National Association of Rocketry, the National Sport Launch is being held at this bastion of southern hospitality and rocket launching know-how.

Red Glare IV
April 18-20, 2008
|
On a bright sunny day in April 2008, on a rye grass field an hour away from our nation's captial, seventeen federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) stood in a tight circle around a man holding a huge green rocket loaded with ammonium perchlorate. Clad in dark blue polo shirts, cargo pants and black sunglasses, with matching hats bearing the ATF logo, the agents carefully pondered the rocket and questioned the man who claimed it was his. This was the first time any of these federal agents had been to an amateur rocket launch. And what would happen next is anyone's guess.

Winter Nationals 2008
February 16-18, 2008
|
The Florida Winter Nationals sponsored by Tripoli West Palm and the Florida Space Modeling Association exemplifies "from tiny acorns,
grow mighty oaks." It must seem like yesterday to the folks in South Florida, when they decided to hold a big launch just to see what would happen.
They held that first launch in 2004, and over the four years that followed, the core of TWP, Al Bychek, Rick Boyette, and Charlie Loveday, learned
lots of things about holding a big launch. THe most important lesson they learned was, to coin another phrase, "hold it and they will fly." And fly they did, 248 times.

A.I.R.Fest 13
August 31-September 3, 2007
The Kansas Prefecture have set the standard for organization, infrastructure
and high flying, big project expertise. With a standing 34,500 foot waiver and windows to 50,000 feet, A.I.R.Fest is one of the few launches where you
can fly high and easily recover your project on miles of open empty, tree-less farm land.
A.I.R.Fest 13 is a glimpse through the keyhole of what you can expect to witness at LDRS 27.
Over 600 flights left the ground during this warm-up launch. You'll be glued to your seat watching the action as massive clusters, supersonic flights,
incredible shreds, full rack drag races, research day mayhem and the awesome P-motor powered Mercury Redstone Project light up your screen. After viewing
A.I.R.Fest 13, you will realize that you're not in Kansas anymore, but need to get back to the Rocket Pasture that will again host LDRS 27 for the biggest
rocket launch of the year.

Three Oaks 2007
November 3-4, 2007
|
Twice a year Michigan Team-1 moves from their normal launch site to
the big field at Three Oaks. Their home field is in Manchester,
Michigan, near Ann Arbor. While it takes a focused effort of
volunteers to make the move to the Three Oaks site, it is worth it.
The higher waiver at Three Oaks allows flights to 12,000 feet, and
windows to 16,000 typically bring out Team-1's big guns.
2 hours of video action on this 2 DVD set. That covers the pits,
interviews and of course the launch itself. Over 1500 plus, high
quality digital photos. Run as a slide show, with music. All set in
5.1 Surround sound.

BALLS 16
September 28-30, 2007

The launch is summed up in one word: Balls. If you fly high-power rockets, you know what it means. If you have been to the Black Rock Desert as a spectator, your pulse will quicken. If you have flown there in the past, you might start to break out in a cold sweat. If this year was your first time to fly a project on the Playa, you have just jumped from the biggest cliff that high-power rocketry has to offer. 4 Hours. 2500+ Photos. 2 DVD Set.

LDRS XXVI
July 12-17, 2007
|
The Jean Dry Lake Bed is about twenty-two miles south of Las Vegas and about fifteen miles from the California border. This is a great place to launch rockets. It is expansive, with very low sage-brush, making recovery of a rocket reasonably easy. The down side at this year's LDRS 26 was the temperature. The Las Vegas area was experiencing a record heat wave, with daily temperatures hovering around 110 deg F plus. You can forget about all that "it's a dry heat" malarkey; hot is hot, no matter how you cut it.
Big 4 DVD set, over 3 hours of fast pace video action. Two disks of 4200+ digial photos set to music. Dolby digital 5.1 Surround sound.

During LDRS 26 there was group discussion on Thermite; this disk contains the complete unedited version of that discussion.
This DVD is for education purposes only, Rockets Magazine and the persons in the discussion take no responsibility for the
use or misuse of this information. 1 hour.

ROCstock XXV
June 8-10, 2007
|
There are so many comparisons to the grandfather of all big festivals. The biggest and most dramatic is simply the size of ROCKstock.
According to ROC President Doc Hanson "We were wondering if anyone was going to show up, being that this launch is scheduled so close to LDRS 26. I am amazed at the turnout and the projects that people have brought to launch."
Hear is ROCstock Silver Anniversary launch.
