The 2019 Rocket season stalled today as severe thunderstorms crossed the area Thursday evening. This forced SystemsGo to cancel launch for Friday and email schools asking them to reschedule to Sunday.
When the storms passed and the team was able to reach the site, they found damage to the site and flooding. To what extent they didn’t report, but work was underway during the day to bring the site back to potential and allow it to dry out as much as continued weather would allow.
No further reports have been posted so as far as we know, launching will resume tomorrow.
Watch SystemsGo’s Facebook page for updates tomorrow morning!

The site should be open for admittance at 8:00 a.m. and launches will commence at 8:30 a.m. Of course rockets are subject to winds, weather and workmanship, all of which can stall a launch. Come join in the action and cheer on these students. Admission is free, but the look on your students’ faces when their vehicle goes up and then is recovered, is far from priceless.
If you plan to attend any of these launches please register for your attendance ticket ahead of time or obtain them at the gate. These are free but required for admittance to each site as they also include a waiver for access to the site. Reserving them ahead at the website is preferred to obtaining them at the gate because the latter slows entrance to the site and may result in you missing the viewing of your intended launch.
If you follow this program and like viewing the launches, this is the last one available to view for Rockets 2019.
Daily reports featuring schedule links, school names, results, pictures and some editorial content will be posted during the event if information is available.
Please watch the SystemsGo website, SystemsGo Facebook page, SystemsGo Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/SystemsGoNews and this blog for upcoming information on these events.
www.systemsgo.org as always is the place for more information on this program. You may also email them at info@systemsgo.org . Take the time to get your school involved, the future of your students will be greatly benefited.
Hope to see you at the launches! #RideTheSkies #texasrockettrail #Rockets2019
