The SystemsGo team and schools leave for New Mexico to launch rockets at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) on Sunday, June 26. That is two days from today. The list and schedules have been finalized and packing is underway.
The schedule will proceed as follows:
- Sunday will be their travel day to Alamogordo, NM to the hotel.
- Monday morning will be T-1 briefing
- Monday afternoon they will travel to West Center 50 Range and do site set up and rocket prep
- Tuesday launch order: Union Grove, Alamo Heights (1), Alamo Heights(2)
- Wednesday launch order: Anahuac, Booker T. Washington (1), Booker T. Washington (2)
- Thursday launch order: Fredericksburg, Make up #1, Make up #2
- Friday will be travel back home for each group.
- If for any reason tests run late on Tuesday and Fredericksburg is delayed then they will shift to first on Wednesday and subsequent launches will shift as needed.
The final list of schools participating in this year’s WSMR tests is:
- Alamo Heights High School
- Anahuac High School
- Booker T. Washington High School
- Fredericksburg High School
- Union Grove High School
Parents be sure your child and yourselves if you are already on the approved list with SystemsGo, and attending, has proper identification with them. State driver’s license, federal pass port, or state id card are required for access to the base. Also be sure they have medical insurance information with them in case of an emergency.
Please be advised that WSMR is an Army base and does not allow spectators in to view these launches. Only the students, personnel, and parents who have been previously approved through SystmsGo and added to the list may enter the base with the group. Please do not drive to White Sands and attempt to enter on your own, or expect to do so with the group, because you will be turned away.
Event details will continue to be available here. 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 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.
