While much of America is obsessed with college basketball in March the real hysteria is ARC rocket teams scrambling to catch a good weather day and a NAR observer on a dry field all before the launch qualification deadline 4/7. Local schools, some with multiple teams, were busy lighting up pads trying to get the magic time and altitude for a score to take them to the finals, or at least a respectable number to stand for their work all year. Some of the flight results look promising for these student scientists. Finalists in the American Rocketry Challenge will be announced 4/16.
