The Albuquerque Rocket Society launches are conducted by qualified members on a strictly volunteer basis. In order to ensure there are adequate resources to accommodate groups wishing to launch rockets on scheduled launch days at our Rio Rancho launch site, the following procedures must be followed:

1. A request to launch must be made to the Albuquerque Rocket Society a minimum of two weeks in advance by either calling or emailing one of the club officers. The requester must provide the group name, number of flyers, the desired launch date and time of arrival, a copy of the tour permit listing the names of each flyer, and a phone number where the requester can be reached.

2. Each flyer (or minor’s guardian) must fill out and sign a launch waiver and provide them to the Launch Control Officer on the day of the launch.

3. Prior to launching each rocket, a flight card (available at the launch table) must be filled out and given to the Launch Control Officer.

4. The Range Safety and Launch Control Officers are in charge of the Launch Site. Their instructions are to be followed to ensure that the range is operated in a safe manner.

5. Safety is a necessity. The group’s adult representatives are responsible for the supervision of the group’s attendees.
