Model Rocketry

Model rocketry is a hobby where enthusiasts build and launch small rockets, typically powered by solid fuel engines. These rockets are designed to be safe, with many made from lightweight materials like plastic or cardboard. Launching involves assembling the rocket, attaching a recovery system like a parachute, and using a launch pad and igniter to propel it into the sky. Model rocketry teaches principles of physics, engineering, and safety, and is often conducted in organized clubs or events. It can be a rewarding blend of creativity, science, and outdoor activity, suitable for all ages.
