Tripoli Rocketry Association provides members with 3 levels of certification.
Level 1 is the first step, where a member must construct and successfully fly and recover
a high powered rocket. Level 2 requires members to pass a written test and successfully
fly a rocket with a higher motor class. Level 3 certification is the highest level Tripoli members can
achieve. It requires building a rocket, documenting procedures, and successfully flying
it with the highest classification of motors.
The following list is a record of levels of Tripoli certification achieved by members of Tripoli Southern Minnesota.
