Manufacturers Showcase!

LAUNCH Magazine has agreed to be the sole sponsor of a 3,500-square-foot, air-conditioned tent for manufacturers at LDRS 26, scheduled for July 11-17 at Jean Dry Lake, Nevada. The onsite tent is “part of our commitment to cover the best rocketry and space events in the country—and to support them as a sponsor and vendor,” said LAUNCH editor-in-chief Mark Mayfield. “We’re thrilled to be a part of LDRS this year.”

LAUNCH will also hand out complimentary copies of the magazine's July/August issue at LDRS. The 88-page issue features full coverage of the National Association of Rocketry's recent National Sport Launch in Indiana as well as the Team America Rocketry Challenge in Virginia. Coverage of LDRS 26 will appear in the September/October issue, on newsstands the last week in August.

Pictures and Videos

ROCKETS Magazine (your official Tripoli magazine!) is planning to be at LDRS in full force, taking photographs and videos of every day from dawn to dusk (and maybe after!) Photos will be available on their website for purchase after the event.
