Spain Every year our friends of SpainRocketry have a nice meeting (SRM) on their fantastic field. The airport lays in the middle of a huge flatland and it is almost comparable with american launchsites. It is situated in the vicinity of Lerida, 160 Km from Barcelona
As can be seen in the pictures, this place is so big that any rocket launch is possible. It is the ideal place for those high altitude rockets which cannot be launched in other european fields. The field is a wild, uncultivated area, with no obstacles of any kind for kilometers. Recovery of model is very easy even for those landed at great distance. The weather is obviously very good in summer, with temperature over 40 degrees centigrade and very dry. A protection against the sun is mandatory. The field is close to many recreational areas and famous resorts. Barcelona and many good beaches are 160 Km away, scenic valleys on the Pirineos are not far and can be reached on your way from your country to Barcelona and back. The same launch equipment used at Aerdelta is used in Spain as well. On the field there are:
Flyers from abroad are welcome! A friendly atmosphere, many interesting places to visit and cheap prices are among the good reason to come with your family for a wonderful rocket vacation! Lleida is easy to reach by motorway from any country in Europe. You may have to plan a one-night stop along your way to Lleida, depending on which part of Europe you are coming from. For any additional information please contact the organizer (Josè Luis Cortijos) who writes and speaks english. Other info can be seen on Spain Rocketry site (Spanish language only) |
