WORLD WIDE WEB — In a news release to Team America Rocketry Challenge teams and National Association of Rocketry TARC mentors, NAR president Trip Barber announced the release of the TARC 2011 rules as well as the date registration for the annual contest opens. The primary rules change for TARC 2011 compared to the previous year's event is the switch from a streamer for recovery to a 15 parachute, removal of the 80 N-second total impulse limit, a reduction of the altitude goal to 750 feet and a return to the use of PerfectFlite altimeters. Other changes tweak the number of teams receiving recognition, increasing the number over previous years. The key changes in the rules are based on feedback from the online survey that many of you took and on our overall experience in TARC 2010, Barber stated in his announcement.

It's hard to believe, but it is already one year ago this week that the pride of high-power rocketry—the one-tenth scale Saturn V built and flown by Steve Eves—went on permanent display at NASA's spectacular space museum in Huntsville, Alabama. Positioned upright and directly adjacent to a fully restored Saturn V, Eves's rocket is a continuing tribute to not only the first men who walked on the moon, but also the recent advancements of high-power rocketry. Looking back at it all now it is still hard to believe, said Eves recently. To have the Saturn V now standing proud right alongside some of man's greatest achievements—I have been truly blessed. But Steve Eves isn't finished yet—and next year he may return to center stage again with yet another larger-than-life project already taking shape in his Ohio workshop.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado USA — Over the 4th of July weekend, we discovered a programming error on the AltimeterOne. There is a gap in the altimeter readout in the altitude region between 3000-to-3999 feet. If the rocket reaches apogee in this altitude band, the readout erroneously replaces the first digit (the 3 ) with a 2 , thus under-reporting altitude in this range by exactly 1,000 feet. For example, if the rocket reached 3295 feet, the display will list the altitude as 2295 feet. All other altitudes (under 3000 feet, and over 3999 feet to 29,500 feet) are reported correctly. Obviously, we're embarrassed by this circumstance, as we want to provide customers with the finest products. In light of this issue, we are recalling all AltimeterOne altimeters previously sold.
