Activities
Our primary goal is rocketry education. Model rocketry is a hobby that should be available to everyone. Additionally, some of our members use mid- and high-power rockets to do astrobiological research.Launches
Low- and mid-power launches are held locally, either on the Lyon College campus or at the Glenn Family Farm in nearby Lynn, AR.HPR
Several of our members are HPR certified, but we do not currently have a local HPR launch site. HPR launches are conducted cooperatively with the Mid-South Rocket Society in Memphis.Meetings
The BIRD meets on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in room 015 of the Derby Building on the Lyon College campus. The Derby building is located at the corner of 23rd and College streets in Batesville, Arkansas.
