We schedule both Commercial and Tripoli Research launches throughout the year. Please check the Launch Schedule for launch dates.

We had 58 launches Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday's launch was shortened by the FAA needing our airspace to reroute flights because of bad weather.
The University of Maryland won the CANSAT competition followed by the University of Michigan Team 2 and University of Alabama Huntsville.
Channel 10 news and the Amarillo Globe news provided media coverage of Friday and Saturdays events.
