Greetings Group,
Hope everyone is well...
Have a quick question about what actually defines a "launch site" according to NAR and Tripoli rules.
Is it the actual "property dimensions" of the piece of property you are actually launching from...?
Or is it simply the "clear area" you are "operating in" when it comes to buildings and the surrounding community at large.
I would like to start a club and launch from a 5 acre piece of land I own WAY out in the desert.
The piece of property is only 660 feet by 330 feet but the nearest building is over a mile away. And its simply wide open desert.
The nearest road is a county maintained dirt road leading to the property that has maybe one or two cars per hour during its busiest times and that dirt road would be 1200 feet from the actual launch site.
So we would be one mile to the nearest building and 1200 feet from the nearest road.
Yes, recovery at times would require retrieving rockets from the surrounding property owners land but I would think nobody would have a problem with it if I contacted them directly and asked for permission.
It's literally vacant desert for miles and miles.
Attached a pic here to help visualize the area. Proposed launch site is in red.
Thanks to all for any and all responses.
