I think that a lot of you that were at NXRS didn't get the QR code link for Sunday/overall voting for the Most Beautiful Rocket competition. I think I have all of the successfully flown entries included. If I missed yours, please send me a picture of it, so I can add it in to this very un-scientific poll. Please only vote once, no ballot stuffing. I'll let the poll run until midnight Monday, then announce the winners and prizes for all the contests on Tuesday.

2026 Ostrich Orbit Launch details
by Chris Abbey 03 Jun '26

03 Jun '26

FYI regarding this weekends launch. Begin forwarded message: From: Brant Hendrickson Good evening OROC, We're very excited to be hosting the first ever Ostrich Orbit OROC launch this weekend in Brothers. This will be a great weekend to test out all of your almost-ready rockets for NXRS later this month 😁. The weather forecast looks very reasonable and not too hot for the weekend, which is great for a June launch. As a matter of transparency to those attending the launch this weekend, the Klamath Falls 173rd Fighter Wing will be hosting two visiting F-35 fighter wing groups, so our flying schedule will likely see several interruptions in the morning and early afternoons for all three days of our launch. We'll work with the fighter wing air management teams to mitigate disruptions to our event, but it's likely we'll see several multiple two-hour shutdowns over the weekend. On the plus-side, these intermittent shutdowns will give everyone more time to get more rockets ready to fly this weekend! See you in the sage!
