Welcome to the METRA Rocketry Club Webpages!
TRA Prefecture #094

5/7/25 METRA launch May 10-11 is a GO!

Please join METRA online before coming to the field. Note we have the option to pay your flight fees for the entire year on the same page as well. Please also download and fill out the METRA membership form and bring it with you. Finally, please make sure your Tripoli/NAR membership(s) are up to date.

Saturday will be our equipment clean up, before any launching. Note that we require folks to help with the clean up, starting at 9 am, if they want to fly Saturday. If you don’t help, you don’t fly. As a bonus, we will waive flight fees for the weekend for those that help with the cleanup. Folks that come Sunday only can fly if they pay a flight fee.

For the cleanup, the club will supply cleaning materials, but we suggest people bring their own gloves.

If you can, please bring a gallon of water for the fire tanks.

Wildman CT will be on the field Sunday only. Onebadhawk will be on the field Saturday only. We are unsure about our food vendor, so we suggest you bring your own food and water.

Certifications: We will only do Tripoli certifications and NAR L1’s on Saturday. On Sunday we can also do NAR jrL1’s and L2’s. For all certifications, please download the certification form from Tripoli or NAR, fill it out, and bring it with you to the field.

See you there!
