About Model Rocketry

Model rocketry is a legally permitted youth activity in every state in the nation and has maintained a higher proportional safety record than Little League Baseball, roller skating, bicycle riding, swimming, high school football and model airplanes. More than one million adults and youngsters now take part annually.

Model rocketry is used in more than 15,000 elementary, junior high, and high school science curriculums across the country.

Model rocketry has been endorsed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and has been approved by the U.S. Army and Air Force as a safe, worthwhile activity for service personnel and families. Youth groups including YMCA, 4-H clubs, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts of America, the Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Space Camps and Shuttle Camps and the Young Astronauts program also utilize the unique educational qualities of model rocketry.
