Your spouse/partner and children under 18 can fly model rockets under your supervision.
New members with limited rocketry experience are entitled to fly Low Power Rockets (LPR). LPR rockets have motors with a total impulse of 20Ns or less (equivalent to a “D” motor), and 24mm black powder “E” motors.
As members gain more experience they can fly rockets with bigger motors by completing a Medium Power Rocketry (MPR) Assessment and then High Power Rocketry (HPR) Certifications.
There are 4 levels of Assessment/Certification:
For further details about MPR Assessments and HPR Certifications please read our Certifications page.
If you have a low-power rocket and would like to fly it before considering joining, we can provide a one-day sponsored launch arrangement. One of our members will supervise and act as the responsible party for the preparation and launch of your rocket. You may have this rocket launched up to 3 times. There is a nominal cost of $10/day for this privilege.
There is no charge if you just want to come along and watch a launch. You will need to follow the instructions given by site officials. Spectators maybe asked to provide identification and contact details.
