Who is allowed to operate a high-power rocket?

The correct answer is that a certified user as defined in the Tripoli Unified Safety Code is the only individual allowed to operate a high-power rocket. This requirement ensures that operators have the proper knowledge, skills, and safety practices necessary to handle the complexities and potential hazards associated with high-power rocketry. The Tripoli Unified Safety Code outlines specific training and certification processes that promote safety and compliance with industry standards. By mandating certification, the code helps protect both the user and the public, reducing the risk of accidents that could arise from inexperienced operation or improper handling of equipment.

Other options do not provide the same level of safety assurance, as they do not specify the necessary certification that validates a user’s capability to operate high-power rockets responsibly.
