Due to the amount of precipitation from the passing of hurricane "Humberto". It has been decided to cancel the launch we had scheduled for this Saturday. There are also less then favorable wind condition in the forecast for Saturday. "12mph. from the NNE." Stay tuned to the e-mail and website for the official reschedule announcement.

Hope to see you at a launch soon,
