Welcome to NARAM‐59 and Rocket Fes�val!

We have a lot going on this week from Interna�onal Rocketry including the Can‐Am Cup and tryouts for the interna�onal team to fly in Poland next year, sport rocketry from the smallest model rockets to impressive high power birds, fun events on the sport range that will have their own special awards including a Sunday Carnival Launch for door prizes, to a wide range of contest events.

Our contest events include four, count 'em, four al�tude events, two al�meter and two tracked. It's al�meter vs. tracking, Steel Cage Match! What is your favorite way to measure al�tude?

thOur patch and medal design was suggested by Pam Gilmore for the 60 thanniversary of Sputnik One and Amanda Boadway as a memorial of the 50

anniversary of the Apollo 1 tragedy. The final design, executed by Peter Alway, with a stylized Sputnik superimposed on an Apollo command module, at once reminds us of the triumphs and tragedies of space travel.

A lot of people help put together a NARAM. As I've muddled my way through the process, four SMASH members have been of excep�onal help; Pam Gilmore, NARAM‐54 CD, knows all things and makes sure the many things that need to be done are taken care of; Dave Gilmore, our in‐house Civil Engineer (even if he isn't one officially), takes care of the launch field and keeps it habitable; Jay Calvert, our in‐house motor vendor and exchequer, keeps track of NARAM vendors, SMASH club funds, and the sport range; and Rob Dickinson, web guy and high power guru, brought together the NARAM web page and has taken charge of the sport range.

There are many others.

So enjoy West Michigan while you are here and fly safe.

Robert Alway,

NARAM 59 CD

Clarifications, Advisories and FAQ:

Name Badges:All fliers must wear their registration badges indicating registration status and

High-Power Certification Level at all events. This is your pass to all events.

Pad Assignments:Pad assignments will be issued based on the order in which fliers clear safety

check-in with ready-to-fly models and the order of availability of the pads of the

appropriate type. Assignments will be made only to unoccupied pads. Fliers with

personal launching equipment at a busy pad have the option of moving their

equipment to an unoccupied pad, or waiting until the pad with their equipment is

free. No stacking or pre-allocating flight cards for a particular pad will be allowed.

CONTEST AND SPORT LAUNCHES:

Range Duty:All fliers are subject to being required to perform some form of Range Duty on a “Fair Share” basis, based on any preferences they indicate at registration and on the needs of the events. The Event Director may suspend flying privileges for any participants that refuse, or are late or do not show up for their Range Duty assignments.

Blast Deflectors:All flier-provided launching devices must include an adequate blast deflector that prevents motor exhaust from directly impacting the ground.

Flying Rockets:There will be two ranges set up for rocket activities: the NARAM Contest Range and the Sport Flying Range. These will be the only areas from which rockets may be flown. NARAM Competition flights will be flown only from the competition range. Practice flights for competition models may be made from the Sport Range.

Range Closing:Check-in for each event will close 10 minutes prior to the end time for that event. The Pad Assignment queue will close 5 minutes prior to the end time for that event. After the close of an event, all flights will be processed out of the assignment queue through a single launch attempt. Misfires on the pad after the event closes will not be granted additional launch attempts.

Returns:For events requiring a returned model, that return must be made within 120 minutes from the end (close) of that event. Late returns may be made at the field or at the Hotel. Late returns may also be called into the Contest Director.

10.4 Return of Inaccessible Models:Rule 10.4 applies to all events except egg lofting. The Contest Director will not enter any property with posted “No Trespassing” signs. Rule 10.4 may be called on models that fall in a posted “No Trespassing” area, or into the Settlement Pond to the south of the flying field.

The Launch Field:The NAR will host a Sport Launch the weekend prior to NARAM 59 Contest, and all week long during the Rocketry Festival. The pads will be set up to the west of the Contest Range. An FAA Waiver up to 15,000 feet AGL will be in place all week long. A number of motor vendors will be on site to take care of your motor needs. Please feel free to contact any of them early to reserve a motor in advance.

The Sport Range will be managed by Muskegon Michigan Area Rocketry,

The Sport Range will be arranged in a right/left split to allow rockets to be safely loaded on one side while being launched on the other.

Pads will available with all standard rod and rail sizes up to 1.5” rail.

A 17 foot launch tower will be available at the 1000 foot cell for larger launches. All launches int M and N range will be flown from this cell. The tower is equipped with a 1.5” rail.

If you need non-standard equipment for your project, please contact the Sport Range Manger, Rob Dickinson, at [email protected] or 616-350-2010. We will do all we can to make sure you can launch you project!

Level Certifications:Staff on hand will be able to certify L1 and L2 flights for both NAR and Tripoli. L3CC and TAP members are planning on being at the launch, but it is the L3 candidates’ responsibility to contract your L3CC or TAP member to arrange to have your L3 certification flight properly documented and witnessed.

FRS Radios:Public address system is based on the FRS band Walkie-Talkies. If you have any FRS radios, bring them along so you can keep track of the launch announcement from anywhere in the area. FRS Channels 6,7 and 8 are Event Staff channels, do not broadcast on these channels.

Channel 6: Contest DirectorChannel 7: Sport Range Events AnnouncementsChannel 8: Contest Range Events Announcements

High Power Information:

If questioned, fliers must provide evidence that any High-Powered rocket that they present to fly will not exceed the waiver or the cloud ceiling limits in effect. No one under-age or not certified for the applicable motor impulse will be allowed past the safety check with a rocket containing a High-Powered motor unless accompanied by an appropriately certified sponsor. All igniters for High-Power rockets will be installed only at the pad before flight. They bust be brought to the safety check in desk separately from, but along with the rocket. Sensitive igniters (such as “electric match” and “flash bulb”) must be shorted until hooked up tot he range launch control systems at the pad. Altimeters with ejection charges are not to be powered up until the rocket is at the pad area.

Commemorative LaunchesSaturday July 29th 3-4pm

Sputnik 1: 1957

Apollo 7: 1967

The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957. It was a 58 cm (23 in) diameter polished metal sphere, with four external radio antennae to broadcast radio pulses. It was visible all around the Earth and its radio pulses were detectable. This surprise success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis and triggered the Space Race, a part of the larger Cold War. The launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments.

Sputnik 1 was launched during the International Geophysical Year from Site No.1/5, at the 5th Tyuratam range, in Kazakh SSR (now known as the Baikonur Cosmodrome). The satellite travelled at about 29,000 kilometres per hour (18,000 mph; 8,100 m/s), taking 96.2 minutes to complete each orbit. It transmitted on 20.005 and 40.002 MHz, which were monitored by amateur radio operators throughout the world. The signals continued for 21 days until the transmitter batteries ran out on 26 October 1957. Sputnik burned up on 4 January 1958 whilst reentering Earth's atmosphere, after travelling about 70 million km (43 million mi) and spending three months in orbit. *

Apollo 7 was the first U.S. spaceflight to carry astronauts since the flight of inGemini XII November 1966. The AS-204 mission, also known as "Apollo 1", was intended to be the first manned flight of the Apollo program. It was scheduled to launch in February 1967, but a fire in the cabin during a January 1967 test killed the crew. Manned flights were then suspended for 21 months, while the cause of the accident was investigated and improvements made to the spacecraft and safety procedures, and unmanned test flights of the Saturn V rocket and Apollo Lunar Module were made. Apollo 7 fulfilled Apollo 1's mission of testing the Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) in low Earth orbit.

The Apollo 7 crew was commanded by Walter M. Schirra, with senior pilot / navigator Donn F. Eisele, and pilot / systems engineer R. Walter Cunningham. (Official crew titles were made consistent with those that would be used for the manned lunar landing missions: Eisele was Command Module Pilot and Cunningham was Lunar Module Pilot.) Their mission was Apollo's 'C' mission, an 11-day Earth-orbital test flight to check out the redesigned Block II CSM with a crew on board. It was the first time a Saturn IB vehicle put a crew into space; Apollo 7 was the first three-person American space mission, and the first to include a live TV broadcast from an American spacecraft. It was launched on October 11, 1968, from what was then known as Cape Kennedy Air Force Station, Florida. Despite tension between the crew and ground controllers, the mission was a complete technical success, giving the confidence to send into orbit around the NASA Apollo 8Moon two months later. *

Saturday July 29th3-5pm

Ladies and gentlemen you’ve created a tradition! As NARAM celebrates number 59, the Imagination Celebration cerebrates its tenth incarnation.

If any of our past flights of fantasy conjure up fond memories the past, the Imagination Celebration has done its job. The magic only happens when our rocket family flies together. All fliers are welcome, whether you have flown in an Imagination Celebration before or not. All we ask is that you follow the guideline below:

Imagination Celebration Guidelines:

The object is to use all of the technologies of model rocketry to produce motion, shapes, light, sound and color in the sky in a manner pleasing and emotionally moving to the human observes on the ground. These characteristics are always valued:

Size and Visual Impact: How visible is it? Does it jump out at the viewer or do you have to squint to see it?

Showmanship and Artfulness: Is it exciting? Is it Beautiful? Does it elicit emotion, sensation, entertainment or humor?

Originality: Make the most of your original designs!

Whether you watch or fly, your job is equally important. Let’s add to that stockpile of memories we’ve been building.

Rob EdmondsHost, Imagination Celebration 2017

Two High Powered Festival Contests:All High Powered events are open to High-Powered certified contestants and Sport Fliers. All High Powered flights are made at the Sport Range.

______________________________________________

H & I Horizontal Super-Roc:Horizontal Super-Roc comprises a single event open to any model rocket. The purpose of this competition is to maximize the altitude and the diameter of the rocket. This contest is designed to empathize creativity in construction. The rocket must have a minimum diameter of 12 inches and must be able to safely fly with a motor in the “H” or “I” motor class.

Please Leave on site for judging by People’s Choice vote by 3pm.

Flight:A single-deployment entry must use a parachute recovery method. A Dual-deployment entry does not require a parachute at apogee but it must use a parachute for the main deployment with a minimum altitude set of 500 feet AGL. With such high drag rockets, it is possible that a rocket may not reach the minimum altitude of 500 feet, and this fact alone will not disqualify the rocket, but all altimeters must be set to deploy the main at no less than 500 feet. Rockets that fail to deploy a parachute will not be considered a qualified flight.

High Power Set Altitude: 420 Meters The top three rockets coming

closest to the set altitude without going over win! Just be sure to register your flight with the LCO before flying!
