Rockets 2021 North Texas/Jacksboro Saturday Launch and Mission Complete

Saturday, Day 3, contingency, weather make up day for North Texas Rockets 2021 launch series. The crew sent 21 rockets skyward, encompassing all the launch schedule for Friday and the last 12 from Thursday.  Recovery did an awesome job bringing them back. Only two were unrecoverable at this time.

It all went well.  SystemsGo  hosted another fantastic launch event.

Afterwards the SystemsGo team and volunteers dismantled the site, sending bunkers and other equipment to storage for next year’s launch season. Unfortunately our reservations expired abs no rooms were available so we’re all headed home or to friends and family in the area. 

We ended this first event well, but it’s only one stop on the Texas Rockets Trail. Next stop Central Texas Rockets in Stonewall. Set up begins Monday with launches commencing on Thursday through Saturday.

A whole-hearted thanks is extended to all who helped make this launch possible.

Pictures are from the progress at the site to this point are on SystemsGo Facebook page, as well as my Facebook page. They can be found here:
