New to Rocketry? NARTREK is for you!

NARTREK Program Refresh
NARTREK is a structured training program designed to introduce and guide NAR members through the fundamentals of model rocketry. The program includes three progressive levels, each with components in reading, building, and launching. Every level builds on the skills learned in the previous one. To complete a level, members must finish all three segments and submit their documentation through the NAR website.

Upon successful completion of each level, participants receive an Achievement Certificate. To commemorate your progress, a cloth patch will be available to purchase through the NAR Storefront.



Were you participating in the previous version of NARTREK?

If you’ve started the earlier version of the NARTREK program, you’re still in luck! The legacy version will remain open through July 1, 2026. You’re welcome to complete any remaining levels and submit your paperwork by that date. After July 1, 2026, the old version will be officially closed.

Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm—stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to launch the next generation of NARTREK!

If you have any questions, comments, or issues with the program, contact Robyn at: NARED@nar.org.
