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.

Ground support equipment is essential for rocketry.
You need a launch pad and launch controller to launch your rockets from. You also need wadding (or re-usable options) to protect your parachute each time.
We recommend the durable Klima launch pad and their launch controllers let you install two PP3 9v batteries at once for some extra launching juice! The Klima pad can take a 3mm or 6mm rod as well as a launch rail if required for larger rockets.
The estes pads are also great and the Porta pad E is very good for mid sized rockets also. - Schools & clubs
Bulk packs for schools and clubs
You can shop for bulk packs of rockets here. We list the packs of rockets on their own with bundles on the page so you can add everything you need in one click.
The bundles include motors, launch pad(s), launch controller(s), batteries and wadding. All you will need to run your club or rocket workshop will be the required tools and consumables for construction. Rocket manuals are on each page so you can check but in general with these starter kits you will likely need the following although not all of these are required by all kits.
Some wood glue (We like gorilla glue but all sorts of PVA should be OK).
