***SEASON ENDED***

Rescheduling in December looks like too much of a problem. We'll call it quits for 2024 and try our night launch after our Winter Follies in Acton, scheduled for 11 January 2025. Keep an eye on the website for any updates.

To make it absolutely clear, CMASS does not allow "sparky" motors at any of our launches.

Our November launches have been known to range from warm to frigid. This one was right in the middle. The winds were low but unpredicable coming from several directions and changing. Turnout appeared to be lgihtner than usual but we got around 250 flights in and a lot of hot dogs were consumed. The night launch was a lot of fun. It was hard to count heads in the dark but at least a dozen people stayed and there were about that many flights. There are photos in the gallery here and here. And a video here. More pictures here .

They launched a balloon to 93 thousand feet with a camera in a styrofoam  cooler attached to the balloon. Now they want to launch a camera on a rocket. great article.
