UBRocketry is proud to announce the first succesful launch of Fall 2009!

On Saturday, October 17th, Rocketry members set up and launched at our launch facilities in Elba, NY. Eight different models of rockets were launched, and there were 12 overall launches on the day. Rockets from "C" to "G" motor sizes were launched. There was no lost rockets, or significant damage during any of the launches! Member Carl Javier brought his camera and a "blast shield" to provide excellent footage!
