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.
Launches are held at the Barr Street entrance of the Little-Big-Econ State Forest on Country Road 426 in Oviedo. To find the launch site, follow Country Road 426 east from Oviedo towards Geneva. The Barr Street entrance is about 3/4 of a mile past Lockwood Blvd. on the right.
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 $6 per person (over 6 years old). This includes a $1 usage fee charged by the park. ROCK members pay only the $1 park usage fee.
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. |
