About  

Diego Area Rocket Team (DART) D.A.R.T., a chartered section of the National Association of Rocketry, was founded in Des Moines, Iowa and relocated to San Diego in the late 1960's. A small group of local rocket enthusiasts would assemble their small model rockets during the week then gather on the weekends to launch their creations. However, they were limited to the size of motors that could be flown in San Diego.

The late 1980's added a new option for local rocketeers with the formation of Tripoli San Diego a.k.a. Ocotillo Test Range. Local members of Tripoli Rocketry Association wanted to launch larger motors than those limited by D.A.R.T. A launch site in Ocotillo was secured and D.A.R.T. members now had a location where they could fly high power rockets and attempt their Certifications.

The two clubs have worked closely since then promoting rocketry in the San Diego area. Both clubs are non-profit organizations comprised of individuals and their families from all walks of life. Club members are committed to community involvement as well as instructing groups in the sport of Rocketry.
