Insurance (IMPORTANT!):
With receipt of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) permit, the insurance requirements are now more defined. Teams
launching rockets are required to provide liability insurance certificates with the following:
- public liability insurance coverage of $300,000 per occurrence and $600,000 per annual aggregate
- the policy shall state that the insurance company shall have no right of subornation against the United States of America
- such insurance must name the United States Government, the State of Utah, and ESRA as additional
insured
- the policy shall stipulate that the authorized officer of the Bureau of
Land Management shall be notified 30 days in advance of the termination
or modification of the policy
- the policyholder shall indemnify and hold harmless the United States, the State of Utah, and ESRA
against any responsibility of liability for damage, death, injury, or
loss to persons and property which may occur during the permitted use
period or as a result of such use
- the insurance need only be valid during periods of actual use (June 16-20, 2010)
Please mail certificates to
ESRA, 665 N 400 E, Logan, UT 84321 by March 20, 2010, and they will be sent in bulk to the BLM office.

Lodging:The
city of Green River has an ample supply of lodging. Also, camping is
allowed at the launch site, but very limited water will be available. A
porta-potty will be available.
Group Photo:
A
group photograph, with rockets, will be taken on Thursday morning in front of the Powell Museum. We will then head
to the launch site (weather permitting) to begin preparations. We are
very grateful for the support from the city of Green River.
Launch Operations:

Awards Banquet:
The
Awards
Banquet will be held from 6:30-8:00 PM, Friday June 26 (Saturday
June 27 in case of weather delays) in the downstairs banquet room of
the Tamarisk Restaurant, 870 E Main St (across from the Museum--no, we
don't know why 870 is directly across the street from 1765!).
In
addition to the second and first place trophies, the Furfaro
Award for Technical Excellence will be presented to the team with the
best technical paper, presentation, and level of student design and
knowledge. The Furfaro Award is named in honor of Jim Furfaro, former
engineer at ATK Launch Systems, great supporter of student rocket
programs, and Judge at the 1st Intercollegiate Rocket Launch
Competition in 2006. Jim passed away in a tragic auto accident later
that year.
