As a means of keeping Tripoli Gerlach Members abreast of what is happening within and around the Prefecture, we have conceived an E-Magazine specifically for Tripoli Gerlach Members. TRIPOLI GERLACH NEWS is produced specifically for members of Tripoli Gerlach. Not intended to be a best seller (its FREE!) it is hoped it will fulfill the member's rocket interest needs with news from  Tripoli National, major Black Rock launches, the town of Gerlach, its surrounding area and member's personal interests and activities. It has now turned into a full E-Mag with quite a good following outside the Tripoli Gerlach Membership.

TRIPOLI GERLACH NEWS is in PDF format. You will need a PDF Reader like Adobe's Acrobat Reader or similar. They are relatively large in file size (graphically intense) so you may find it will take awhile for them to download, some as much as 10 - 20 second, they're not instantaneous.

TRIPOLI GERLACH NEWS is openly available to non-Tripoli Gerlach people in hopes it may entice interest in joining us in a National Tripoli Prefecture dedicated to Research Rocketry and the Black Rock Desert area.
