Tripoli Research Launch Information:

While most Tripoli launch activities are performed using commercially manufactured motors. Many hobbyists also enjoy the design and construction of their own motors, for personal usage.

The Tripoli Research rules cover organization policies for the use of these motors.

Each individual hobbyist is responsible for verifying their compliance with any local, state, and national regulations that may exist.


Tripoli Research Launch Requirements:

Tripoli launch insurance is not in effect for any experimental launch that has not been approved by Ben Russell. To obtain approval, submit a Research Launch approval form. Tripoli launch insurance is null and void at any regular HPR launch (not experimental) where an experimental rocket motor is used. The Board of Directors does not approve experimental motors for use during regular HPR launches.

Any questions regarding Tripoli Research rules should be directed to Ben Russell via email: ben.russell11[at]comcast.net or telephone (703-853-6060). If contacting via telephone, please be aware that Ben is on the east coast of the United States when determing what time to make your call.

Please submit all Research Launch requests via the electronic Research Launch Approval Form.
