XPRS Research Launch: Blackrock Desert NV September 12-15 2012
XPRS is the acronym for eXtreme Performance Rocket Ships. The name was coined during a session in the AERO-PAC camp during the 2001 LDRS launch at Lucerne. Tom Cloud came up with the concept with Ken Biba, TRA BOD and Brent McNeely of Extreme Rocketry. The idea was presented to the membership at the LDRS Banquet and was met with resounding enthusiasm. It's intent is to create a Triple Crown of Tripoli launches and it completes the triumvirate of LDRS and BALLS.
