PM me with the necessary information (in specified order), launch name, time period ((holiday) W/E, begin month, mid month, end month, 1st W/E month, 2nd W/E month, etc.), location of launch (town, state abbreviation), host organization name or website. I will include national launches (LDRS, Balls, NAR Sport Launch, NARAMS) on the list provided you PM me. I do not research all club websites looking for launches. I do not read and search posts in this forum and repost them into the list.
W/E = weekend

This is great!
I wonder if the moderators could make this a sticky, please ???

Thanks Randy for putting this all together.

Thanks for putting this together! (And for putting NXRS on there!)
Looking at the dates for LDRS 34 makes me wonder if NXRS and LDRS will be over the same weekend next year...

As I get more PM's I can fill out the table with launches for a whole year. Now, there is a table that lists the major, regional launches so people can plan their vacations and travels for the launches they want to attend. People that have job re-locations can look at the table and see what regional launches are available in their new locale.

 

[blackbrandt]

PM sent with lots of websites.

We (OROC) won't have a schedule for next year until December and January rolls around, at the earliest. NXRS is usually the last weekend of June. I'll keep you posted...

I know that come December and January I will probably be updating the table quite a bit as clubs finalize next years schedules. Some clubs might not be able to provide final launch dates until March or even later.

Good deal!

X2 on the Sticky. Perhaps a linky at the top of the main page header too?

[Rocketjoe13]

Wow, great spread sheet/list of launches. I wonder why I didn't see this before? Any chance of a 2016 update?

 

[RoyAtl]

GRITS 2016 (dropping the WinterNationals moniker because we'll be into Spring this year) has shifted to April 1-3 (no foolin').

 

[RandyT0001]

Sorry for my absence. I will be able to update the list.

 

[Forever_Metal]

Southern Thunder is postponed; no re-schedule date available at this time

Thanks

FM

 

[mclovinbam]

Is there an updated version of this list or an easy way to tell what events are happening in certain states at certain times? Thanks in advance.

 

[CoyoteNumber2]

@RandyT0001 are you still maintaining this list?

 

[cwbullet]

Send me a PM if you want this list updated or launches added.

 

[cwbullet]

I updated grits. I am going to ask all local flier to certify this list. I will take over the thread and update it.

 

[cwbullet]

Is springfest a regional launch? I didn’t see it up there.

 

[Kallahan11]

SMASH rocketry's crapshoot is June 10th and 11th this year not in May that was my bad. 15,000 foot waiver trying to get call ins to higher.

Corrected.

 

[Antares JS]

MDRA no longer does a Red Glare in the fall, and this year's is March 31-April 2.

 

[COSTransplant]

Nothing in Colorado on this list? I'm surprised.

 

[aerostadt]

Yes, National Sport Launch West 2023 near Alamosa, CO, May 27-29, should be there.
