2023 Launch Reports
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
January, 2023
January 21 turned out to be an overcast day for the entire launch, but we still enjoyed a fun-filled day of rocketry. Following NAR rules, we required all rocket flights to stay below the cloud base, or approximately 2000-2300 feet. Although the low-lying clouds were a challenge, we benefited from calm winds as well as reasonably comfortable temperatures for this time of year, beginning the day in the low 20sF and gradually rising to the high 20sF by mid-afternoon.
The fields were frozen with 4-6 inches of snow on the ground and the large ditches
had about 2 feet of water. Setup started about 0900hrs with Kevin K plowing
the road down to the field to prevent vehicles from getting stuck. The low-power
rack was set up at 50 feet from the launch table, and one blue high-power pad
with an 8-foot standard 1010 rail at 100 feet. Later in the day, students from
Northeastern University set up the large yellow pad with the 12-foot 1515 extreme
rail also at 100 feet. Flights started at 1015hrs.
Kevin K collected annual dues from club members and launch fees from all fliers,
while wearing a NAR range safety vest. Scott L provided GoPro views of liftoffs
with the camera positioned right next to the launch pad, and James S video-recorded
all launches from the flight line using a basic iPhone. John A, Kevin K, Paul
S, and James S helped with RSO duties and certifications. There were five Level
1 certification attempts on this day, and three of those attempts were successful.
Flying started at 1015hrs with the FAA notified. By 1100hrs, attendance was
14 people, which increased to 19 by 1200hrs, including students from Northeastern
University and Olin College of Engineering.
At 1540hrs, after a pleasant day of flying (albeit limited to 2000 feet altitude),
we packed up the equipment and left the field. Five club members then had dinner
together at Mill River, staying there until 1725hrs.
AWARDS AND MILESTONES:
-Successful L1 certifications:
(1) Jeffrey M with his Custom Onyx-1 on CTI H118CL

-Most flights: Paul S with 5 flights
-Closest to pad: James S and his Chimera on AT G74
-Closest to car parking area: Stewart and his Der Red Max on Estes E16-4

MOTORS:
We launched 22 flights on 24 motors, including a two-stage flight (Else and
her Estes Nike-X on C6-0 to C6-5) and a cluster flight (Paul and his Thrustline
Hank on B6-4 x 2). Together as a club, we flew 4104.9 Ns total impulse, which
is equivalent to a medium-sized L motor. The mean impulse was 171 N, which is
a small H, and the median was 110.2 N, which is a medium-sized G motor. The
mode was G (7 G motors). The distribution of the 24 motors was as follows:
A: 0
B: 2
C: 4
D: 1
E: 2
F: 0
G: 7
H: 3
I: 5

SETUP
Club members began arriving on the field at 0900 hours, and Kevin K drove his
truck with club equipment down the farm road to the launch site. Due to slushy
snow and ruts on the farm road, we decided not to allow any other vehicles to
go further down the road. We set up the parking area at the crest of the hill
on the south side of the farm road. About 20 vehicles parked there or else farther
west along the farm road. We set up our launch site at the bottom of the hill
(west side of the cornfield). The two blue HPR pads were positioned at 100 feet
from the LCO table, with extension cords available out to 300 feet. The low-power
rack was placed at 50 feet. Later in the day, the large yellow pad was installed
at 300 feet for larger flights. We were ready to begin flying at 0951 hours,
and the first rocket lifted off at 1045. The last rocket was launched at 1610
hours, and we finished packing up equipment and left the field. Six club members
had lunch together at Green Mountain Cafe in St. Albans.
ATTENDANCE
Seven club members attended the launch along with about 40 college students
from Northeastern University and Worcester Polytechnic,as well as several guests.
At least two of the guests had learned about CRMRC one week earlier at the St.
Albans train show, where Howie D., John A., and Paul S. hosted a display about
our club.
CLUB DUTIES
Howie D and Kevin K served as LCO and RSO. Kevin also collected launch fees
and distributed CRMRC nametags for members. James S. video-recorded flights.
Scott L. provided GoPro closeup views of some launches, and Curtis H. set up
his RocketTrig system for additional photography (as featured in a recent issue
of Sport Rocketry).
WEATHER
At 0900 hours, the field temperature was 33 degrees F, and we notedoccasionalwind
gusts up to 15 mph. Skies were fully overcast during the morning and the cloud
base was estimated to be 3000 feet (verified with launches).Because of this
cloud layer, we limited all flight configurations to maximum 3000 feet apogee,
following NAR rules. The clouds began dissipating slightly around noon. Then
at 1500 hours, the sky cleared significantly, and we enjoyed blue sky and largely
sunny conditions for the remainder of the launch day. The field temperature
gradually increased during the day, reaching 39 degrees by 1600 hours, while
the wind gradually decreased. We observed an average wind speed in the range
of6-9 mph at 1023 hours, then0-3 mph at 1100 hours, and 5-12 mph at 1600 hours.
FIELD CONDITIONS
Some of the ditcheswere filled with several feet of water, and the cornfield
had a layer of slush and water which required waterproof boots. However, underneath
this wet layer in the field, the groundwas stillfrozen so we did not have any
major problems with mud.
MOTORS
We flew 22 flights on 28 motors, including 4 cluster flights (see Curtis H.
below). The largest motor was a CTI L1050BS with 3727 Ns impulse. The smallest
motor was Estes C6 with 8.8 Ns impulse. As a club, we flew a total of 11814.1
Ns total impulse, which is equivalent to a small N motor. The motor distribution
was 6 C, 2 F, 6 G, 2 H, 7 I, 4 J, 1 L. The mode of this distribution was I (7
I motors). The mean impulse was 421.9 Ns oran I motor. The median was 136.7
Ns or a G motor.
