Rockets Launch Procedure

This is what you need to do in order to launch a rocket with us. Note: SSI does subsidize a substantial portion of the cost to launch and build rockets.

(will link to things once google drive is fully organized)

Basic Requirements

1. Be a member of SSI (pay your dues). Talk to your co-lead about how to do this.
2. Complete EH&S safety trainings (you only need to do this once): 2200,1900, and 4200 (on Axess).
3. Sign up on the SSI HPR Roster. The document exists in the SSI Google Drive.
4. Become a member of either:
   1. the Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA) online, this will cost $30.
   2. the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) online, this will cost $25.
5. Attend the intro to rocketry workshop. This will give you a brief overview of the fundamentals of high power rocketry and give you the tools to analyze and design your own rockets.
6. Read and understand:
   1. the TRA safety documents
   2. the NAR High-Power Safety Code
7. Complete the forms we ask of you:
   1. TRA Launch Liability Waiver Form
   2. NAR Launch Liability Waiver Form
   3. Emergency Contact Form
   4. Stanford Launch Waiver
   5. Pre-flight Rocket Approval Form
8. If you are attempting to certify, fill out the correct form:
   1. TRA Certification Form
   2. NAR Certification Form

Once you've completed these steps, you only have to fill out an updated Launch Waiver and Pre-flight Approval Form per launch.
