The TRA board of directors is excited to announce that Liberty Launch Systems has submitted the winning proposal for a new TRA based magazine. Bob Utley and Neil McGilvray are the creative team that put together a superb proposal package that captures the spirit and passion that makes flying high powered rockets a great hobby. Bob and Neil bring great experience, enthusiasm, and a history of quality work to this new venture.

LLS has assembled an impressive list of collaborators and contributors. They plan to attend launches throughout the country and are planning to attend the Florida Winter Nationals January 28, 29 near West Palm Beach, Florida and other major launches.

Some details are still being worked out, but the goal at this time is to have an issue available in the beginning of March. There will be a minimum of 6 issues per year, on a regular, dependable distribution schedule. Their web site http://www.libertylaunchsystems.com/ will be updated as more details and information are available. Subscriptions will be offered on the web site soon.

The board of directors was unanimous in ranking the LLS offer at the top of all proposals. Other excellent bids were received from Brent McNeeley, Mark Bundick, and Cesi Myers/Dick Embry. The board of directors sincerely appreciates the efforts made and strong proposals submitted by these good people.

We are genuinely excited about the new offerings from Liberty Launch Systems and look forward to a consistent, informative, high quality product that will have something for every one interested in high power rockets. We look forward to starting this new chapter in the history of Tripoli Rocketry Association.
