LDRS 43 will be one of the top rocketry events of 2025. Make the most of it by planning your trip early!
- Decide which days you will attend. See the Event Schedule
- Learn about the launch site, facilities, and launch equipment, and find directions. See Launch Site.
- Find a place to stay or plan to camp onsite. See Accommodations. (We highly recommend staying at Tachi Palace. It’s close to the launch, features nice accommodations, has a good restaurant and bar, and is the host of the TRA Banquet dinner on Saturday night. When booking reservations at Tachi Palace, you cannot do this online but you must call (559) 924-7751 and request the use of the “Tripoli Central California Room Block” for booking your room (note – you must call before April 21st 2025), this is not a Web discount code but a directive.
- Pre-register for the event, reserve your spot at the banquet, and buy a shirt or sticker. See Attendee information to learn about registration and check-in procedures, and see Store to register and make online purchases.
- Plan any purchases required for your launch activities and make any pre-orders to pick up on site. See Vendors.
- Sign up for Range Duty if you have a Level 2 certification and have some time to help. See Range Duty. (The launch runs on volunteers, so if you can help out, it will be greatly appreciated!)
- Review the rules for a safe and fun launch. See Fliers & Spectators
- Get excited for LDRS! Build those rockets! And invite your friends!
