Upon further review of many teams individual situations, the Thursday Team Listing is getting an amendment.

• If you are not on the list of 60 teams, but you have a tent, you may come to the launch site and set up in the areas recently cleared of the damaged tents. 
• Teams that do not have sufficient tent space to shelter their team from the sun could be sent home.  
• Teams on the list are allowed to shelter under any of the big student tents provided by ESRA. 

ESRA knows teams work together and help each other out. If you decide to buy tents and stores start running out, please be friendly and help each other out.

Today was a challenging day with the benefit of excellent weather. Thursday will BE MUCH HOTTER SO PREPARE!!!

The ESRA team was able to successfully launch over 30 teams.

The hard work of the tent supplier has restored 4 student team tents which is 50% of what we had so tent space will be a premium for the remainder of the week.  A majority of the debris has been cleared but some broken tents are still there.  DO NOT GO NEAR THEM.

Before you arrive for your Final Flight Check, complete the following:

1. Bring your Rocket (Ready to Fly)
2. Bring your Double-headed Igniter (NOT inserted into the motor but taped to the side)
3. Bring your Flight Card
4. Alert your Flyer of Record that your team is ready to fly.

Rules for Thursday:

• Only invited teams are allowed to enter the launch site.  Similar to today, there will be a morning group and then an afternoon group.  Gate will open at 5:00am for the morning group.  Be prepared to launch ASAP. The afternoon group will be announced 3hrs before you need to be onsite, so please be prepared to depart.
• If your team has already flown (on Wednesday), you should not be set up under a tent. The limited tent space is reserved for teams who still need to Fly.
• Once you complete your flight tomorrow, please vacate your tent space to allow other unflown teams to prepare.  If you have a canopy, you can certainly bring it.
• There is no 45k high altitude waiver tomorrow. 10k and 30k flights are approved.
• Flight Safety Reviews will be available at 7am
• Final Flight Reviews will be available at 5am
• Ejection charge testing will be available at 8am
• If your team IS NOT READY TO FLY tomorrow, send an email to

Hello Rocketeers, 

We are seeing a lot of dehydrated students out at the launchsite. EMS is recommending that students have 3-4 Liquid IV powder packets per day to keep dehydration under control. Stay safe!! 

Thank you for your time,

Sierra Stockwell

Student Teams,

Flight Safety Reviews and Ejection testing will resume once we resolve all of our service challenges and return to normal operations.  Teams who are not identified in Group 1 or Group 2 are not allowed to be onsite.  ESRA's focus is on LAUNCHES ONLY.

Flight Safety Reviews and ejection testing will resume once we return to normal operations (hopefully tomorrow).
