As announced on the twitter feed,
Weather is looking good for GLRMR XI launches. We’re looking to launch (most likely) on Sunday, pending a “GO” announcement from Skybusters.
Planned for this launch opportunity, the maiden flight of Gallifrey, along with flights from Firefly, as well as a possible return to the sky for Artemis rocket “Garfield”.
We will keep you posted…

I’m preparing one of the Artemis rockets to make a re-appearance at the upcoming GLRMR XI event. If time permits, I may launch Artemis booster “Garfield” for a flight or two to test a new altimeter.
The last Artemis rocket launch was on July 25th when Garfield was used on the first operational use of our (then) new launch pad (Launch pad #1), which has since seen heavy use as my main (and only) launch pad, as well as “spill over” duty at MTMA launch meets.
Garfield blasts off from launch pad #1 for the first time on July 25th.
There may be other missions planned for the Artemis boosters this year. One possible (and exciting one) will be if I decide to modify one of the Artemis boosters to fly a boilerplate for the upcoming Carina Shuttle glider project. The purpose would be to test for aerodynamic stability in the proposed booster design.
More information to come!
