NAR L1 Certification

Over the summer, I built and launched a LOC PRECISION IRIS YANK 4″ rocket with an Aerotech H283 engine. The launch and recovery were successful earning me my NAR L1 certification. (NAR – National Association of Rocketry, L1 – Level 1)

This process taught me so much. I learned how to use tools like epoxy and sanders, applications like RockSim, and how to set a delay on an Aerotech engine. To get my certification, I also had to find or calculate the center of gravity and pressure.

I am excited to see where my NAR L1 certification will take me. An L1 certification allows you to purchase H and I class impulse motors. I look forward to applying the skills I learned in college, at my internship and jobs, in my daily life, and for future model rocketry projects.
