Model Rocketry
Civil Air Patrol's Model Rocketry program is an achievement program for cadets interested in the science, technology, and flight of model rockets.
The guide (available below) builds on the foundation of Aerospace Dimensions, Module 4: "Rockets," to introduce cadets to the hobby and science of model rocketry.
The guide begins with simple alternative-power models and progressively challenges cadets with more advanced models.
Cadets who complete the written and performance requirements for each of the three stages described in this text, as certified by their unit commander, will be awarded the Cadet Model Rocketry Badge.

In the event a copy of a rocketry test is needed, only the commander or test control officer may request a copy from headquarters by contacting Judy Stone at
jstone@capnhq.gov. The rocketry tests are NOT online.
