The president of our rocketry club has declared a GO for the Saturday August 14th launches, so the Artemis Booster / 04 is on for its next mission along with the maiden flights of Perseus boosters “Eagle” and “Columbia”.
Hope to see some of you there!

The weather outlook for this weekend’s launch looks variable. The morning hours look good, possible storms moving in by early afternoon. We’re aiming to launch the Perseus boosters in the morning, and Artemis booster by late morning / noontime hour.
We’ll keep watching, and will announce the final plan Friday evening. If Saturday doesn’t look good, then the launches will most likely be scrubbed until August 28th.
