What is the main purpose of the Tripoli Safety Code?

The main purpose of the Tripoli Safety Code is to ensure safe launch practices. This is crucial in rocketry, as the inherent risks associated with launching rockets necessitate specific guidelines to protect the safety of both participants and spectators. The Safety Code outlines procedures and protocols that address various aspects of rocket launching, including spacing, recovery system requirements, and the handling of rocket motors. Following these established safety measures helps to minimize risks and promote a culture of safety within the rocketry community.

While rocketry competitions, training for new members, and regulation of rocket design are important aspects of the overall rocketry experience, they are not the primary focus of the Safety Code. Instead, the Safety Code serves as the foundational document that guides all activities within the Tripoli Rocketry Association, emphasizing the importance of safe practices to ensure enjoyable and incident-free launches for everyone involved.
