Current Rocket Launch Schedule

Dates and locations of all launches are as accurate as we can foresee, however, the launch information on this page is subject to change. Please confirm the launch status of any given launch on the front page of the SLRA web-site before leaving for the launch site. "Model" and "Large-Model" rocket launches are held at Buder Park. At "Model" rocket launches, rockets weighing up to 16 oz. (total lift-off weight) and using up to "F" class motors may be flown. At "Large-Model" rocket launches, rockets weighing up to 3.3 pounds (a total lift-off weight of 1,500 grams) may be flown. The propellant weight limit for "Large-Model" rockets is 125 grams of fuel. Normally when we use "Large Model Rocket Rules" in Buder Park we are limited to an altitude of 1,500 feet AGL (above ground level).  All "High Power" launches are held at our Elsberry, Missouri launch site. "Model" rockets and "Large-Model" rockets are always welcome at our "High Power" launches at Elsberry.
