About this event

This is a high power rocket competition for college and university teams from the Midwest, but also open for teams from all over the US and international teams. Please see here for details:

Tripoli Minnesota hosts the launch for this competition on May 16 and 17, with a weather date of Monday May 18. We need volunteers to help with the launch, to serve as LCO, RSO and to help with pad management.
If you volunteer you are welcome to launch your own rockets during the event!

We will announce the exact launch day as we get closer to the event and the weather forecast becomes available.
