The landowner of the field has been contacted and says that the crops are late this year. Our first launch will Tentatively be November 3rd. Once confirmed, it will be posted here and a Facebook Event will be posted (non-Facebook users can see it on our Public Page - https://www.facebook.com/SEVRANARTRA/ )
Location
- Address - 284 US Highway 158, Elizabeth City, NC 27909
- GPS - 36 degrees 26 minutes N, 76 degrees 27 minutes W (36.434263, -76.466478)
Field Size – 4593’ x 3121’ – 351.5 acres – 0.55 Sq Miles
FAA altitude – ORF has instructed the FAA to limit altitude in this area to 4,000' AGL.
Dates – Since this is a farmer’s field we only have access during the off-season.
The field can be muddy so bring appropriate footwear. There are also some drainage ditches so we’ll bring some boards to help cross the ditches.
Launch fees – We have to pay a field rental fee. So, to hopefully collect enough money to pay the fee, the launch fees each day will be – HP $10/day, MP $5/day, LP free. Observers are free. We have a limit of about 10 or so parking spaces so try to carpool, if possible.
We will contact Vendors to see if they are interested.
A company called Outdoor Access links up landowners with hunters, campers, drone flyers, and now rocketry clubs. We coordinated telecons with outdooraccess and the NAR President to get all the insurance and safety questions answered. We will be the first to try rocketry launches under their program so if this works other clubs can participate.
