Next ARGOS Launch (Club Launch & TRA Research!): Hier gehts zur deutschen Version von diesem Artikel ! ARGOS Launch 23th of August 2025 The next ARGOS launch is planned for the 23th of August 2025 (with fallback date of 30th of August 2025) Because no motors did arrive from Aerotech, we ask you to bring your own motors for the rockets you want to launch. Jürg will be on site with a collection of motors he does have on stock, but it is not guaranteed that motors you are looking for will be available. |
