Welcome To SoAR

New WebSite Almost Here!

We're finally making the switch to the new site today. Some features won't be available for a few days, or may not work quite right.


Register For Fall GRITS Now!

GRITS Logo

Fall GRITS (Georgia Rockets In The Sky) will be held from Friday December 9 through Sunday December 11, at the Cagle Farm in Ranger, GA near Calhoun. Saturday and Sunday are open to everyone. Spectating is free, but if you want to fly rockets, register now at the website for the best deal -- $25 for Saturday and Sunday, $15 for either Saturday or Sunday. Friday's launch is a Tripoli Research launch, so only Tripoli members may launch ($10) but spectators are free to come watch. Registration will be available on the field, but it will cost $20/day, so save by registering now!

More information at www.gritslaunch.com.

SoAR Shop Is Open!

SoAR T-shirt

You can now show your support for SoAR with fashionable items from the SoAR Shop! Right now there are mens' and womens' t-shirts, trucker hats, tote bags, and large coffee mugs for sale. If you have suggestions for other items, let us know!

Just added a mens' style zip hoodie, in time for colder launches. We may add other styles if demand is greater.

Dale's Bucket O'Rockets Still Here!

At each SoAR launch there will be a bucket (white, about 12" diameter) that is designated as Dale Windsor's Bucket O'Rockets. Land any part of your rocket in that bucket (after a safe flight and recovery!) and you'll win a jackpot of rocket kits. If no one gets in the bucket at a launch, the prizes will roll over to the next launch, and another prize will (seldomly!) be added!

The current list of prizes (as of September 8, 2011):

  • limited edition Roachwerks Saturn IB kit
  • Estes SpaceShipOne
  • ASP WAC Corporal
  • Estes Scissor-Wing Transport (the latest re-issue)
  • NOVA ASP
  • NEW ADDITION! From John Lawrence, a FlisKits Drake!
Good Luck.

Fields

We are always on the lookout for new fields in and around the Atlanta area. Smaller fields for model rockets or large fields for high power, it doesn't matter. If you know of a field, contact Jorge Blanco first!
So get looking and contact Jorge before approaching the owners!!

Educators

Educators can get a free CD-ROM from the National Association of Rocketry (NAR)
