Launch Information
 ROCK launches are held the first Saturday of each month starting at 9:30 am. If you are unsure of the weather, please call our "Status Hotline" at (407) 461-4683 on the day of the launch to confirm the current launch status. Launches are cancelled in the event of inclimate weather or a high drought index.
Some items you may wish to bring to the launch include:
- rockets and rocket "stuff" (of course)
- chairs
- sun screen
- bug repellant
- portable shade
- cooler with drinks
- lunch
- squirt guns
- Launch fees
Launch fees for non-ROCK members are $7 per person (over 6 years old). This includes a $2 usage fee charged by the park. ROCK members pay only the $2 park usage fee. Fees are expected to change in early 2010. We require launch fees to keep our launch equipment operational and to provide a fun and safe launch experience for all involved, including Little Big Econ State Forest.
There are no restrooms at the launch site, but several restaurants and gas stations are located
just a few miles away on Lockwood Blvd.
Because of the size of the field, we are limited to flying rockets with G motors or smaller and are limited to a maximum altitude of 2000 feet. |
