Gates will open at 5am as normal.

There will likely be a 2nd (the last of the IREC) Launch Salvo around 10am.  

Post Flight Data Recovery will CLOSE AT 10AM. NO EXCEPTIONS!    

IREC 2025 Launch Operations, the Airspace and the FAA Waiver close at 12n.  No rocket will be allowed to launch after 12n (even if it is prepped and on the rail).  ESRA will not risk our incredible FAA waiver

Teams who are launching in the first salvo (those in Quarantine now), must recover their rocket and bring it to Post Flight Data Recovery before 10am to receive credit for the flight.  If you arrive after 10am and the Post Flight team collects your data, it is still too late to submit it to the judges. They will not accept it as they have already begun their final deliberations on competition winners.

There will be two additional HeroX updates over the next few hours which are very important.

  • Information for Student teams who wish to assist the ESRA team as we close down the range
  • Important information for attending the 2025 IREC Awards Ceremony Saturday evening.
