Welcome to the home of Rocketry in Ireland


Rocketry as a hobby started in the United States in the 1950's & 60's. Over the years, it has grown worldwide, with clubs and organisations holding monthly and annual launch events. In Ireland, such events are held in Greencastle, Co. Donegal and Tuam, Co. Galway. The rockets that are flown here range from small 'A' class motors to high power rockets capable of travelling thousands of feet into the sky at supersonic speeds.
