Current Club News (updated )
Welcome to the Tulsa Rocketry website.

Our next launch attempt is scheduled for Sunday July 12, 2009 at the Leonard launch site.  Watch your e-mail for updates.  This will be a Beat the Heat launch.  That means that we will will start at 9:00am and finish at 1:00pm.  See you then.  Keep checking back for updates.

We have posted a PDF file of the flight cards. You can download it and fill it out, then bring it to the launch and you'll be ready for check-in immediately.  It is a fillable form so you can enter your data then print the form, or you can print the blank form and fill in the info with old fashioned pencil or pen.

The March launch pictures have been posted.

Just as a reminder to new visitors to our launches, please only drive on the dirt roads between the sod fields. DO NOT DRIVE ON THE SOD.  Driving on the sod can damage it and make it harder to harvest. If it doesn't look like a well worn dirt road then it's not a dirt road, it's probably an area that was recently harvested. Check out the new updated map and directions.  Thanks for your cooperation.

To commemorate our 20th anniversary, there are some Limited Edition 20th Anniversary items available in the Tulsa Rocketry Store. Drop in and see if there is anything you want. They will only be available this year. By the end of the year they design will revert back to the standard Tulsa Rocketry logo items.

If you missed the May meeting, we showed highlights from a video that was made in 1989 by one of the original club members. The original was on VHS tape. We have converted that video and another one from 1990 to DVD and copies of the two DVD set are available for $5.00. Your can order one from the DVD order page.

Our next meeting will be Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 7:00pm at Flight Safety.  We will discuss a new club project and have our usual rocket talk and show and tell at the end of the meeting.

We still have a few t-shirts left from High Frontier 5.  If you would like one they are $12 each plus $5 shipping.  We have 1 XXL, 1 XL and 5 L shirts left.  Email  for ordering info, first come first served.

In case you were thinking of using Future Floor Finish (now called Pledge with Future Shine), here is a link to a page with most of what you should know in order to use it.

The RocketScience Project is complete for 2009.  If you are interested in participating in RocketScience 2010, check out the RocketScience page.  We had three schools and 5 teachers participated this year.  If your school might be interested in lofting a science payload several thousand feet into the atmosphere, check out the RocketScience page for more details. Some sample electronics can be found on the Examples page. Check it out.  See the May Launch Photos for pictures of the 2008 launch.

If you wish to donate to help fund various Tulsa Rocketry programs, please check the sponsor page.

If you are thinking of trying to push the sound barrier on one of your flights, you've got to check out this video.  It shows what can happen to G10 fins at transonic/supersonic speeds.

Keep in mind our launch notification procedure.  The Prefect will send out an email by 10:00 am Saturday to indicate if the launch is a GO/NOGO.  It will be posted on this web site shortly after the notice goes out.  We also have simplified our launch fees.  Low power (1/4 A through G) will be free for anyone.  If you are going to fly High Power (H or above) the fee is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non members.

Send us your launch photos and we'll put them up on the site with your photo credit. (Give us your URL and we'll include a link to your site.)
