Old Business
Launch Site – Paul spoke with Chris and Jane regarding the Brothers launch site. A clean up launch date will be set for sometime in March. (15?)
Waivers – Paul submitted the waivers for Brothers public launches, Brothers weekends and Alvord Desert weekends. For the public launches OROC has requested a waiver increase from 20K MSL (15.5K AGL) to 40K MSL (35.5K AGL). The MOA under which OROC launches is 27K MSL, so it is hoped that this will be the minimum granted.
Black Rock Project – The team has stalled after the resignation of leader Dave Proffitt. Brett Philips will attempt to poll the team and see if there is enough interest to continue.
Sunset Rocketry Club - Nick Anderson reported that SRC III is done and ready to launch. It is hoped to have three test launches before the qualification launch. Qualification launches during February. The deadline is March 9.
Trailer Party – Stephen Tarr will announce dates for the trailer work party. (3/22?) The location will be Dave Proffitt’s shop, if possible.
New Web Site – Nick Anderson has the new OROC web site online. OROC is still soliciting pictures and videos for inclusion on the web site.
Posters – Matt Jones is also soliciting pictures for the OROC flier and brochure. Members will now be issued a permanent ID card.
New Business
NAR competition Chair – Bruce Carey has resigned as NAR Competition Committee Chair. OROC is looking for a replacement to manage NAR competition this season.
