To Join the Model Rocket Club, complete the Model Rocketry Membership Form.

The Challenger Center Model Rocket Club is a “family oriented” club that believes building and launching rockets as a group is simply lots of fun! The club is fully sanctioned and insured by the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) – Section 691. The club members usually meet monthly, either at the Challenger Center , or at the Metropolitan Rocket Association (METRA) launches in Pine Island , NY .

Club members have access to lots of educational material relating to model rocketry, and are able to use the Challenger Center 's model rocket simulation software to help them construct and fly their rockets. Club members can pursue the NARTREK path to model rocketry excellence by working on projects enabling them to reach the bronze, silver, and gold achievement levels. Older club members, above the age of 18, can pursue the challenge of obtaining certification in high-powered model rocketry.

Club members have discounted passes to local launches and they receive discounts to any “rocket build” classes and workshops held at the Challenger Center.

The Challenger Center club hopes someday to form a team that will compete in the Team America Rocket Challenge (TARC). This prestigious annual event offers prizes totaling $60,000.


A lifetime membership for the entire family is just $60.
