Ground equipment is quite a broad category.
To test your rocket(s) you will need a launch pad, launch controller and batteries for it.

You will find both in this section, and we also sell extension reels for your launch controller if you need to get to a larger safe distance from your rocket. (Check the UKROC website to find out how far you should be from your rocket at launch)

We've also shoved spare igniters in here as you can sometimes have a failure with these.

You will probably want to go with a launch pad with a 6mm rod, or a 6mm slot rail for your  UKROC mission. 

If you're going the rod route then we like the Klima launch pad & controller with the optional 6mm rod, or the Estes Pro launch pad. The Estes Pro launch controller is also a nice choice.
