The New Zealand Rocketry Association is a model rocketry organisation based in Auckland, New Zealand. The NZRA holds launches and meetings bi-monthly at its Taupiri launch site, an hour south of Auckland, and has an annual launch day. Launch clearance from the Civil Aviation Authority is required for all launches, to ensure there are no aircraft flying through the area.
New Zealand altitude records for single engine experimental class rockets have been set at the launch site by Martin van Tiel at 4,169.2 m (13,678 ft) on 2 February 2003 and by Phil Vukovich at 8,378 metres (27,487 ft) on 6 September 2008.
Martin Aspell and Joel Schiff hold the current NZ altitude record of 10,275 metres (33,711 ft)
