Tripoli Minnesota Club Launch. Held the Second Saturday of the month at our field east of North Branch MN. Setup starts at around 9:00 AM and first flights at 10:00 AM. We fly until everyone is exhausted, usually about 4:00 PM.

Tripoli Minnesota is a High Power Rocketry Club. We launch many rockets of all sizes from small models to the obscenely large. Some are 20 feet or more tall. Rocketry is truly a family activity for all ages. Kids (and those young at heart) are welcome to come launch on our 6 low powered launch pads, while the adults get to play with the really big and beautiful high powered birds on our 6 high power pads. Even if you just come to watch, rocketry can be fun and even a little educational. Youth groups are welcome, but a little advanced warning would be nice.

Bring your sunscreen and lots to drink (no alcohol please). Come early as parking will be at a premium. There is no charge for spectators or low power launching. You must be a club member and over 18 to launch high power.

We try to have a rocket equipment vendor (RocketTechnologies.com) and sanitary facilities available at each launch. We also have Brian's Brats, brats, hot dogs, chips and pop for a nominal (and quite reasonable) charge.

Setup starts at around 8:00 AM and first flights at 9:00 AM. Please consider arriving early to set up or staying late for clean up.
