Today marks 17 days until the SystemsGo team and schools head to New Mexico to launch rockets at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). Already the schedule has changed since this time last week. Luckily the dates haven’t changed only brought the return date to Friday now instead of Saturday.
The classified tests WSMR had scheduled for Wednesday have been canceled allowing launches to continue on Wednesday instead of having a down day on that date. Sorry folks, that means no scheduled sight-seeing after all, but at least you will be home with more of your July 4th weekend in tact for fun.
I will not be posting the actual launch schedule for the schools until next week once we are positive there are no more changes and all schools slated to go are on board for sure. Fredericksburg is still feverishly working on the completion of their rocket. At this point no other schools on the list have given indication that any critical problems could cause them to abort.
Parents if you will be joining your child on this trip, and if they have a vehicle to launch, then you should be, then please get your identifying information in to your child’s teacher immediately. Only those on the list with information in ahead of time will be allowed on the base to observe the launches. Do not miss out on this it is definitely a trip in which you should participate.
Event details will continue to be available here. As schools and schedules finalize I will provide an updated list of those schools traveling to WSMR and the launch schedule. The week of the launches I will provide information as made available to me from team members on site as to how launches have gone for those schools testing on that particular day. Pictures are not allowed on the range, but maybe some pictures of teams getting ready to leave for the range with their vehicles might be available. If anything is available and passed on, I will post it for your viewing pleasure.
