Hello Rocketry Enthusiasts! I hope this post finds you all soaring high in your rocketry adventures! I'm a high school student currently navigating through the fascinating world of water rocketry for my research paper. My focus is on the optimization of water rocket fins in terms of their size...
Question Hi everyone! We’re a university team just getting started with building model rockets, and one of our main goals is to develop an active control system. We’re currently debating between using movable fins (canards) or thrust vector control (TVC)...
As of the start of 2025, what is the best (or near best) onboard video camera to house with a 2. 1" / 54mm rocket that is - 1. Not necessarily the cheapest 2. Gets good - but not superb resolution 3. MUST be easy to install 4. Wifi blue tooth connectivity / connection to iphone highly...
Long story short I just got my Level 1 over the weekend and flew it low and slow. But now I might like to reach for the stars as it were lol. I'm terrified of losing my rocket though and am contemplating investing in some sort of tracking system. I know these "egg timers" are suggested but yes...
These either requiere the rocket to have a certainly speed to work or a heavy supporting structure to enable the deployments. If the objective is to minimize weight and for the deployment to occur as far and as close at apogee as possible, wouldn't this Rocket Extraction method be very practical? I would love to know your opinion. Thank you!
The advanced rocket will be multi stage rocket projects but has a new set of flight challenges. Electronics: flight computers and or altimeters to help with dual.deploy, cable cutters, recording the flight parameters, tracking devices to help find the project.
Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of building a HPR hybrid rocket motor and am posting to get opinions, advice, and help. The motor has a theoretical average thrust of 800N 2. Propellant is paraffin wax with carbon black additive. 3. Oxidizer is N2O I have already...
Hello everyone, I would like to introduce you to a gyroscopic stabilization system which I made.The system is designed to prevent the rocket from rolling. The idea is to use it with rockets that have a built-in camera or other equipment that does not withstand the rolling of the rocket during...
