Mavericks is where the most independent, and most experienced high power rocketeers and civilian space explorers collaborate, compete and fly experimental projects that push beyond the hobby, to the next level of professional civilian rocketry and space exploration. Mavericks goes beyond sponsoring experimental launch services, and focuses on the complete needs of the civilian space explorer: Launch & Design Support; Tracking Infrastructure; Engineering Standards & Best Practices; Governement Agency Co-ordination; Reference Designs; Competition; On-line Collaboration; and very soon, the next level in Certification beyond Tripoli's L-3.
(Night Flight Operations - Black Rock 2006)
Have you exceeded your capabilities in flying L-3 projects? Are you bored, with the same old commercial motors, in the same old airframes? Do you feel 'the need for speed' beyond Mach 1? Looking for a new challenge beyond Rocksim? If you are a L-2 or L-3 Tripoli certified member, and are struggling to figure out how to get to the next level, Mavericks was built from the ground up to asist you, with your quest to get into space. We will be providing our members with contingency storage, technical training, launch facilities, reference designs and simulation tools, METS, dispersion analysis, telemetry and tracking infrastructure, experimental launches, competitions, and collaborative knowledge to help you build that rocket or payload and fly it into space. Come join us, and fly with us now!
