The Rhode Island Model Rocket Association (RIMRA) is a model rocket club and a sanctioned section of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR # 755).

The mission of RiMRA is to provide a safe venue for launching amateur rockets and bring together people interested in amateur rocketry - whether they are new to the hobby or long time enthusiast. RiMRA promotes amateur rocketry as a tool for teaching engineering, mathematics & the physical sciences.

Outreach events are designed to encourage students to become involved with science and engineering through hands on experience with model rocketry. Groups from the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) work with RiMRA members to prepare for their competitions.

Safety is managed through our National Association of Rocketry certified safety officers and the club follows range safety protocol. Experienced rocketeers are always available to assist novice fliers.
