Thank you all for an amazing season. We saw everything from the smallest MicroMax flights to 98mm M class motors. Two stage flights, clusters, boost gliders, and more! The 2025 – 2026 season culminated with one of the largest events in the past decade. From Friday April 10th to Sunday April 12th, 280 rockets took to the skies over BattlePark, and we had numerous static tests to include 2 6″ O class motors.
A very special thank you to everyone who stayed around Sunday afternoon to help clean up the range. Your help was VERY much appreciated. See you all in the Fall!
Tripoli Central Virginia is a group of rocketeers that get together to launch, discuss, and observe rockets. Whether you’re interested in low-power rockets flying on “A” motors or high-power rockets on “M” motors, you’re welcome to join us for our next launch.
Please note the following:
- Tripoli Central Virginia requires that all high power flights be flown off a launch rail. Launch rods are not available on the high power range.
- All flights that will exceed 7000 feet above ground level and/or flights that will be powered by over 2560 Newton Seconds of total impulse (an ‘L’ motor) require the completion and submission of a Tripoli Central Virginia Flight Pre-Approval Form. It is requested that this form be submitted to the Tripoli Central Virginia Prefect (seanhanlon30@gmail.com) as soon as practical before the intended flight, but no later than 1-week prior. Should the form be submitted less than one week before the intended launch date, the approval and subsequent flight will likely be pushed to the next scheduled launch date. Exceptions to this schedule will be handled on a case-by-case basis and are solely at the discretion of the Tripoli Central Virginia Board of Directors. This form can be found by clicking the ‘links and forms’ tab above.
