Black Rock Desert Impressions, Part 1



One of the launch pads operated during the BALLS 10 experimental high power rocketry launch, held on September 30 and October 1, 2000, at Black Rock Desert/dry lake, north of Reno, Nevada. The launch was conducted under Tripoli Rocketry Association sanction, and sponsored by the National Experimental Rocketry Organization (NERO) and the Experimental Rocketry Association of Arizona (XRAA).

The lower photo shows the launch pad tilted to a near horizontal position, in order to facilitate loading the rocket onto the guide rail.
