Fifteen questions on stability and safety, written for bootcamp alumni. Tap an answer to see why.

Find a club

Flying with a club is the easiest way to keep going, because the club already has the field, the FAA waiver and the land permission. Type a ZIP code to see the nearest Tripoli prefectures and NAR sections.

The list comes from Tripoli's prefecture list and NAR's club finder, last checked Nov 8, 2026. Some pins are only the club's region. The official lists have the current contacts: Tripoli prefectures and NAR clubs.

American Rocketry Challenge

The largest rocket contest for students. Teams of 3 to 10 in grades 6 to 12 build a rocket that carries two eggs to 800 ft and lands them safely in 37 to 40 seconds.

The rocket
650 g or less at liftoff, at least 650 mm long, one stage, F motors or smaller (80 N·s), and at least one section of 66 mm (T-80) tube 12 in long. Every part stays tied together on the way down.
Register by
Dec 6, 2026, 11:59 pm ET. $195 a team. Qualifying flights run to Apr 4, 2027; finals are May 15, 2027 in The Plains, Virginia.
Who sponsors
A school or a youth group. A rocketry club cannot.
Practice
The ARC trainer in Labs uses the same flight model as Launch Control: put in the mass, the motor and the chute, and see how close you get to 800 ft and 37 to 40 s.
