LUNAR Launch this Saturday, October 28th at 9am at Brigantino Park, Hollister

[Rocket Supplies]

It was great to see everyone that attended TCC's October Skies over the weekend.

We are scheduled for a LUNAR launch this Saturday!

As always we need volunteers to make the launch happen.

Tony, David R and Paul are planning on attending and can help with LCO and the pads, but we need help with transportation and setup.

It looks like I may not be able to attend--more info to follow in another email, but PLEASE pre-order!

For transportation, we need someone(s) to pickup the equipment in Mountain View at the storage location and take it to Hollister.  

After Hollister we need someone to return it.

Here is the signup sheet for volunteering for the launch.

We will also need help with registration and setup/takedown.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I’ll be there, but with my two ARC teams, so I’ll volunteer when I can.

Do we have another wireless relay box, low power pad rail and battery that we could bring?

The other wireless relay box is built into the low power pads. I have the batteries. Yes we need the controller in the storage unit. Robert needs the red boxes too.

I can pick up most stuff from the locker.  I think it will all fit in my car.  Key thing is to make sure we have everything we need for a launch.

Last time with six low power pads, things were getting pretty hectic.  Do we have another set of low-power pads we could bring with?  Tony, you said you have batteries and one relay box.  That means we need the control box.  From what was in the locker after the last launch, it looks like the small control box is there, there’s a box marked “range support” and a box marked “pads 1-6” along with the six low power pads rail and some mid-power stands, rails, tables, etc.

Nathaniel, thanks for volunteering.  I’m going to pick things up Friday evening.  Do you want to meet then?  Saturday morning we’ll want to start setup around 8:30 at Brigantine so I don’t want to run up to Mt View before that in the morning.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks for the volunteer help!

I will still have free motors for anyone who built their rockets at the July club build night.  Will bring a variety of stuff to get everyone flying even without normal Fred & Danielle vendor table.

Several two stagers are ready to go - and I want to give them away to kids who want to learn how to prep these and various techniques for staging.

Is there another set of low power pads we can bring?  I think there is just the one rail of six in Mt View.

No. The controller only handles 12 pads.

Oh well.  Though, if we have the other relay box we can run low power on the mid-power pads as well when it’s busy.

It was one of the very first questions I asked when we started down this road. Why are we not just towing the LUNAR trailer? It was decided that it was a small launch and we would only need 12 pads. I agree, 12 was not enough at the last launch.
