SIERRA ROCKETS

 Welcome to the webpage of the Sierra Rockets, the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) #728, and the Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA) Reno Chapter. 

This is a hybrid club of both NAR and TRA. We usually scheduled launches on the first Saturday of the month, generally from March until November.  

We had to cancel the March Launch due to the lakebed being frozen over and conditions have not improved.

OUR NEXT LAUNCH IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR  APRIL 1, 2023 

Please check here or Facebook for more details as the date gets closer. 

We welcome all levels of rocketeers and we love having visitors, even if it is just to watch!

If you would like more information about rocketry, or the Sierra Rocketry Club, please use the Contact Us page to send us an email.

We look forward to hearing from you.

*  Our Certificate of Authorization from the FAA now allows us to do 3-day launches. We'll camp and have a fun weekend launching rockets. We will post 3-day launches as soon as we have them planned.

* Our ceiling is 9,500' AGL (Above Ground Level) and 13,500 AGL Call in. 

* Our launch photos will be on our Facebook group's page. That makes it easier for everyone to share photos. Please check there for the photos. You can find our Facebook Group here: SIERRA ROCKETS FACEBOOK GROUP.

A fun video shot at a monthly launch

Please note that the drone was positioned very far away from the launch pad, and as you can see in the video, on the opposite side of the lakebed from the launch control. In the very very small chance that a rocket would have hit the drone, it would have been over the lakebed with no people anywhere near it.
