Updated as of 9.17.24

  • We will have 32 high power pads (48 total).
  • Of those 32 high power pads we will have three with 1515 rails that are 10 feet in length.
  • We will have ten pads with eight foot 1010 rails
  • We will have twenty four pads with six foot 1010 rails but will intersperse 4 to 8 1/4″ rods.  The 1/4″ rods will be collocated with 3/8″ and 1/2″ rods that will be there for use as needed.
  • We will have twelve pads with 1/8″ rods
  • We will have four pads with 3/16″  rods (the mix will depend on who is flying).
  • I understand that we will have a Unistrut pad but that is being brought separate of SoAR launch equipment
  • Expect the nights to dip down to the 50’s but the days will warm up to mid-70’s.Please plan to hang around after the night launch on Saturday night.  While the night launch is fabulous in the darkness of South Georgia, what happens after will make you forget the night launch.
  • SoAR practices load while launch processing.  Every pod is far enough from any other pods that it can be being loaded while the adjacent pad is being fired (we use a Wilson F/X system.  We can place pads a mile apart).
  • Plan on going out for Bar-B-Que on Sunday night.
