Welcome to the National Association of Rocketry
The National Association of Rocketry is all about having fun and learning more with and about The Sport Rocketry Hobby. We are the oldest and largest sport rocketry organization in the world. Since 1957, over 100,000 sport rocket modelers have joined the NAR to take advantage of the fun and excitement of rocketry. The National Association of Rocketry is model, mid power, and high power rocketry.

The National Association of Rocketry Promotes Safety

The hobby's excellent safety record is solidly rooted in a successful Safety Code program. The NAR Safety Codes are made up of about a dozen simple, common-sense rules and guidelines, and are included with every kit, engine, and catalog sold in the US.

Today, that perfect local launch field is likely to belong to a school system, park department, or private landowner who insists on being covered by insurance before allowing you to fly. While we’re proud of our safety record, it helps to know that NAR members are covered by $5 million worth of personal liability insurance to give that site owner added peace of mind!
