  • Altimeters must be checked in before and after launch to confirm height achieved (Estes altimeters will not be permitted).
  • Check-in will require you to bring your rocket with its altimeter to the LOC/Precision booth before launch, and within two hours of completion of flight.
  • Your rocket must be able to fly again after retrieval without a repair being done (disqualifications include a broken fin, separation, missing launch lug, or any other damage that may prevent the rocket from being flown safely again). A rocket that is unable to sustain a safe future flight will be disqualified.
