How to Join NAR

If you want to launch your own rockets, the first step is to join the NAR, or National Association of Rocketry. 

  1. Go to https://nar.z2systems.com/np/clients/nar/membershipJoin.jsp
  2. Fill out your personal information and where you heard about NAR
  3. Choose "RIT - 808" as your section 1. Leave section 2 blank.
  4. Choose your membership level:
    1. If you are under 21, choose "LR (Age 16-20) Join 1 Year ($25) - Regular Magazine"
    2. If you are 21 or older, choose "SR (Age 21-25) Join - 1 Year ($25) - Regular Magazine ”

    3. Note: There is no way to opt out of the magazine, unfortunately.

  5. It is suggested that you enable auto-renewal. If your membership lapses, you will lose all certifications. 

  6. Hit submit and fill out the next page.

Within a few weeks, you will receive your NAR membership card. Carry it with you at any launch events. It provides important information regarding insurance. 

Why do I have to join NAR?

If you are not a part of NAR (or TRA), you cannot purchase motors, launch any high-power rockets, be present at launch sites without special permission, or receive any certifications.
