ROC would like to thank everyone who attended, and especially those who volunteered!

We hope everyone had a good time, and if ROC is afforded the opportunity to host future Tripoli events, that you come out have a good, safe, rocketry experience with us!

ROC members and supporters. We need your help. We are looking for volunteers. Please help out by committing to work registration for LDRS. Any and all help is appreciated.

There are many other opportunities to volunteer at LDRS. Please consider paying back to your club.

If you are willing to help, please contact us or sign up at the launch and we will line you up. We will train you!

ROC is a tremendous organization who runs on the support of our members. Hosting a national launch is big deal and we want to make it as great as possible.

The crystal ball is clearing and the weather for LDRS 35 is coming into focus.

High temperatures will peak this weekend (June 4), and then begin easing by the start of LDRS. Wednesday, June 8, will see a high temperature in the mid-90s, but Thursday through Saturday high temperatures should be close to 90°F (32°C) on the lakebed. Sunday, June 12, it will begin warming again.

No precipitation is expected for as long as I care to predict.

Winds will be from the West/South-West at 12 to 15 MPH in the afternoon next week, with calmer conditions around dawn. Gusts in the 20 to 25 MPH range are possible in the evenings.

UV strength will range from high to extreme, so sunblock and protection from sun exposure is very important. The only shade on the lakebed is what you bring!

Humidity on the lakebed is expect to be around 15% to 20% all week, so dehydration is a serious threat, especially for those who are not acclimated to the desert South-West.

Protection from the sun and drinking plenty of water are important considerations for anyone coming to LDRS! Keep a close eye on your children for symptoms of heat illness, and please leave your pets at home!

Weather on the Lucerne Dry Lakebed can, and does, change in the blink of an eye. Stay tuned for updates

ROC is proud to announce that the featured speaker at the LDRS 35 Banquet will be Mark Adler, the JPL Project Manager for the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator Project (aka NASA's flying saucer from last year's testing).

LDRS is the annual high power launch for the Tripoli Rocketry Association.
LDRS 35 is the fourth LDRS hosted by the Rocketry Organization of California (ROC), and the third held at Lucerne Dry Lake Bed. Our launch site is fairly conveniently located for much of Southern California, and easy to get to from either Interstate 15 or 40 if you are driving in from out of state.
The annual Tripoli Rocketry Association banquet will be held on Saturday, June 11, near the launch site.
The launch is free for spectators, and we welcome visitors who are interested in rocketry, or just want to see some rockets fly! Please read the information on our Launch page, so you know what to expect.

A Facebook group for LDRS 35 is also available at:
