High Power Rocketry is more thoroughly defined in NFPA 1127 and by TRA and NAR. This website contains information on the safety regulations, construction guidelines and hints, modeling of rocket flight, instrumentation, avionics, and analysis of flight data. In addition, there is an archive of flight data, and archives of information from previous rocket courses.
