Tripoli Central California invites you to join us for LDRS 43!
LDRS is the premier annual rocketry event for the Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA). For 2025, LDRS 43 will be hosted by Tripoli Central California (TCC) at the Maddox Dairy Farms in Central California.
The Maddox Dairy Farm launch site provides over 20 square miles of flat, open, agricultural land for recovery. The Central California weather is (almost always!) good for flying. Our waiver is 17,000 feet MSL (16,800 feet AGL). We can fly individual motors up to a maximum impulse of M and complex rockets with a combined total impulse of up to N. And TCC offers some of the best high-power launch equipment anywhere, including an away cell capable of launching rockets in excess of 250 pounds!
Excellent rocketry vendors will be on site. We have arranged for a first-rate hotel for the TRATech conference on Thursday and Friday night (May 15th and 16th), and we have an excellent restaurant to host the TRA Banquet dinner on Saturday May 17. And you won’t want to miss other special events throughout the week. Come join us for 4 days of launches from May 15 through May 18!
Online registration and store is now closed, however, you can purchase everything found on this site at the launch.
NOTE: there will be a limited number of additional banquet dinners available for on-site purchase, so arrive at open on Wednesday at the registration booth to purchase – first come first serve!
