Fellow Rocket People,
After careful consideration, the Austin Area Rocketry Group has elected to move the 2004 National Sport Launch from McGregor, Texas to Hearne, Texas. The date will remain the same: Memorial Day Weekend, May 29-31, 2004.
The unpredictability of waiver issues at the McGregor site has led us to this decision. In addition, the paved surfaces at the Hearne airport launch site will insure that NSL '04 can take place in just about any weather conditions short of a monsoon.
Special thanks go out the our friends at the Dallas Area Rocket Society, who were instrumental in assisting with the original bid, and the NASA/Houston Rocket Club, who assisted greatly in making the alternate site available.
It's going to be a great launch, so mark Memorial Day weekend on your calendar!
For additional info, please check the NSL website as it is updated over the next few weeks:
