In today’s blog, we will talk about another rocketry organization dedicated towards working for model rockets

Tripoli Rocketry Association

It is a non-profit organization similar to the NAR. It works for the advancement and operation of amateur high-power rocketry. The US and 22 additional country members are part of this rocketry organization. It was established in 1964 by a group of high school students in Irwin, Pennsylvania as a high school science club. Francis (Glenn) Graham was a key founding member in the organization. The reason for the name ‘Tripoli’ organization is that members for this organization came from three countries, meaning Tripoli.
