Your Model Rocket Success is Our Mission!

Facebook Live Training with Tim Van Milligan!

Model rockets are more than just toys or just an educational and rewarding hobby. Model rocketry is the first step to outer space. We truly believe that, because Apogee Components has been in business and helping rocketeers achieve success for more than 25 years (since 1987). We've seen how rocketeers have gone on to shape the future of space exploration.

Apogee Components is dedicated to helping you achieve your model rocketry goals and taking you as far as you want to explore. Whether it be your first rocket launch, a student science fair project, or a certification launch in order for you to fly those large high power rocket motors, we're here to help.

We are the new leaders in the model rocket industry because we take the time to listen to you and to help you with your projects. We are more than just a one-stop shop for supplies like model rocket kits, rocket engines, and construction materials. You've arrived at the best location for how-to information on model rocketry. As you explore this website, you'll see how much effort we've put into giving you the rocketry information you seek. From our detailed product descriptions, over 200 different how-to YouTube videos, and our bi-weekly newsletter, you'll quickly become the rocketry expert that everyone looks up to.

Can I Buy Model Rocket Engines Near Me?

Because of legal restrictions, it can be hard to find where to buy model rocket engines near you. Online retailers like Apogee Rockets can ship them to you, but it may be hard to find a local hobby shop with the ability to store and sell flammable materials in house. Should they exist near you, chances are you will be pretty limited in selection, and often restricted to low-power.
