ALL
ABOUT BALLS
BALLS is THE premier Experimental Rocket Launch in the Continental US. This will be the 18th year BALLS will be held in the Black Rock Desert, North of Reno, near Gerlach, Nevada. (There was no event in 2001 because of 911). It brings dedicated rocketry enthusiasts devoted to the leading edge of non-professional rocketry activities together for the best demonstration of experimental motor design using today's best technologies and probably the largest nonprofessional rockets seen anywhere.
BALLS 19 is a venue for projects that should NOT be flown publicly due to safety and legal restric-tions. This may include, but is not limited to, LARGE rockets, com-plex staging or clustering, metal rockets, self designed and/or fabricated rocket motors and new technologies being developed or proven.Black Rock Dry Lake has always been the site of large rocket launches. Its wide open vastness is unprecedented for its high altitude recovery record. Through the years BALLS has grown into non-professional rocketry's show place of the best there is. The quality, craftsmanship, shear size, power, technology and edge cannot be compared to any other launch anywhere. The best thing is the exchange of new thoughts and methods are that presented openly to anyone who asks. This launch will be primarily for Research Motors and/or Dangerous projects. Do NOT come to observe unless you are directly involved in flight activities, a Pre-Approved Experimental Project or invited by persons active in such ventures. Registration is REQUIRED by EVERYONE planning to attend. THIS
IS NOT A FAMILY EVENT, |
