We're excited to announce that LDRS 44 will be hosted by Tripoli Indiana, Prefecture 132, the group behind the well-known Thunderstruck launch. The event will take place in Pence, Indiana, from April 16–19, 2026.
Tripoli Indiana is already preparing for a great event at their excellent field near the Indiana–Illinois border. Here are a few early highlights:
-
RV and tent camping will be available, with designated areas for both.
-
Hotel accommodations in nearby Danville, IL are plentiful, and a vetted list of recommended options will be shared.
-
The Tripoli Annual Banquet and TRATech sessions will be held at venues nearby.
Pence HP Launch Field is the club’s designated high-power site, located in central Warren County. It supports flights up to O impulse and is used after the fall harvest and before spring planting—making it ideal for large-scale launches like LDRS.
More information will be available shortly. Visit indianarocketry.org for updates and event details as they are released.
