Preparing to launch

 

“Sky clear! … Range clear!” A brief countdown follows, then — hopefully — the rocket soars off the launch rail, whistling hundreds or thousands of feet into the sky, depending on the power of its motor.

Spectators shield their eyes, looking skyward until the rocket’s parachute becomes visible and the apparatus begins its return to Earth. The young rocketeers erupt in cheers when they spot the device and its attached parachute. Then, the hunt is on to retrieve the equipment from wherever it lands. The process repeats throughout the day with each new launch.

Members of Fresno State’s American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics club took a road trip right before Thanksgiving to the Mojave Desert near Edwards Air Force Base to test rockets they had spent months planning and building, both individually and as a team. They use a launch site maintained by the Tripoli Rocketry Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the safe operation of amateur, high-powered rocketry.
