Harry Stine. It is the oldest and largest model rocketry governing body in the world with over 80,000 members. The organization hosts a variety of educational programs and model rocketry contests. There are three national NAR events each year: NARAM (the national contest culminating the rocket contest year), NARCON (the national convention, with speakers and educational programs) and NSL (National Sport Launch, a large fun launch).
