TTRA has acquired a new launch-pad for Level-3 Rockets.  The pad can support 1515 and Uni-strut rail guides and and has 16' of rail.  We can now support rockets in the 100+ lb range.  Please note that this pad can support rocket and motor combinations that exceed the TTRA and FAA safe distance require for the field.  TTRA policy is still that L and above flights require RSO approval, so if you are planning to fly something in that range (especially if it's pushing the  envelope) it is best to contact a us before the launch.

The photo section of the has not seen a lot of action for a while. There are a lot of people out there taking pictures and it would be great if some of those pictures could be shared on the site. If you have pictures of the TTRA launches taken over the past year and would like to share them, just send and email to the Prefect and we can workout the best way to get the photos uploaded.

Videos are also welcome. I will be combing YouTube for TTRA videos that can be added to the site. Again if you have some video of TTRA launches send an email to the Prefect and we will work something out.
