                         TOM'S ROCKET GEAR

Tom's Rocket Gear is still in the process of closing up completely. Tom has been a supporter of TBRA and many other rocket clubs for many years. All remaining merchandise is at reduced prices. If anyone would like to take over, and become a rocketry vendor, see Tom at one of our next launch events, or contact him at info@tomsrocketgear.com

We have a problem with member email addresses. The last couple of times we have tried to send out notices to members, a lot of them came back as un-deliverable. At the next launch event, all members need to see Mike Nipper and verify that their contact information is correct.

The Tampa Bay Rocketry Association honors all current and former members of the United States Military Services. Most of all our fallen members, and the families they leave behind. We all owe them a debt that can never be paid. 

TBRA Membership dues will be collected on the field during our first scheduled launch. At that time we will also require all new documentation.
​There will also be a new registration process for all individuals attending a TBRA launch event. The process may take some time on the first day, please be patient and we will work thru it. 

 2026 Launch Schedule
   Subject to Change

​We conduct low, mid, and high power rocket launch activities near Brooksville FL. We are a dual affiliated group, operating as the Tripoli Rocketry Association Prefecture 17, and as Section 934 of the National Rocketry Association.

**********NOTICE***********

TBRA now has an approved launch site, within the Sand Hill Scout Reservation near Brooksville FL. We have an approved FAA Certificate of Authorization to 8,000 feet AGL, or 8,100 feet MSL.

Launch is scheduled for March 21st, if the current burn ban is lifted.  

We will not hold a launch event until the current burn ban has been lifted.  

We also have a landowner near Polk City FL that will allow school teams in the American Rocketry Challenge to launch on his property. Any interested teams in the area needing a launch site can contact me here.
