rocket

Hello when I was a kid I had an uncle that built 100s of rockets, he got me into it along with everything in the hobby world plans, trains, RC, you name it. Anyway i needed something to keep me sane so i ordered a Estes Bull Pup 12D a rocket I had memory of as a 8 year old. I’m 24 now. Anyway I...

Hello, My team and I have been working on a payload project where our recovery system needs to be delayed but a couple of seconds after it has separated from the rocket. We have been attempting to get our hands on a minitimer since the end of last year, and still have yet to find one for sale...

Hi, guys anyone has used 915 mhz rf 500MW module?? I would like to know is it compatible with ESP32 modules and can the module transmit video for a rocket with apogee of 1 Km.

Hi, there I am using a parachute(parafoil) to steer the payload. I need the code for that, by steering I want to reduce the range. Can anyone help me in this.

Hi all I am a 50 year old guy, who has been flying small and simple rocket models with my son. Now I have bought a Mid-power Aerotech Initiator 3 feet tall. So still a small rocket. I don't know about any club in Denmark to small hobby rockets, so if there is any other from Denmark here, write :-)

Hello, We will participate in a rocket competition. We will ascend to 5000 feet altitude. We want to use a commercial flight computer in our rocket. We need to communicate with the rocket and receive various data (altitude pressure-temperature etc.). With this system, we also need to activate...

Traveled ~17 hrs from Northern California to Alamosa, Colorado to fly at 2021 NSL over the Memorial weekend. Stopped over in Moab to see Arches and Canyonland National Parks on the way. Most of travel was on Route 50, not much traffic. San Luis Valley Rocketeers put on a well organized and...

Our show called Homemade Astronauts was just released on Discovery+ which features 4- One Hour Shows on building homemade rockets. This show can be streamed now online, it features Buddy and Ky Michaelson, Kurt Anderson, Waldo Stakes, Mad Mike Hughes, and Cameron Spence. Here is the Cold Open:

I’m sure people have tried this by now... what are y’all’s thoughts on drone recovery of rockets? I see this being helpful for reconnaissance of a property you don’t have permission to be on.. looking around for the rocket. Then maybe even actual recovery by installing a hook and landing on top...

Got my level 1 a week ago and now the Los Angeles Dodgers win the World Series. What more can a guy ask for?

The Kronos E has a new home The Hangar Flight Museum. This was one of those very rewarding team projects. The Team; Shane Weatherill, Ian Stephens, John Glasswick and I spent many an hour getting this rocket into the air and a few more prepping it and making a base to stand upright in The...

Assume a rocket is standing on the ground with mass = 1000 kg, and near the top of rocket we apply a force of 100 N for say 1 sec,now assume that this is sufficient to tip rocket over/start tipping over. If the rocket is mid air and accelerating at 30m/s^2, then likewise how much force would be...

Hi! I am 11, and I’m quarantined at home and bored. So, I started building an imaginary rocket! I’m not sure what thread to put this in, so if anyone wants to give me some advice on using this forum I’d be grateful. This is my question: I had an idea, of using helium (does that even absorb a...

Traveled down from Northern California for Tripoli San Diego Havoc #4 launch. Held at the Holtville closed airport near the Mexico border. This my first outing this year. Weather was good except for windy Saturday afternoon. Full moon lit up the night. Wild Flowers... Range setup...

Hi, we're working on a rocket with payload, and wanna check this rocket on computer during the rocket is flying (i mean check altitude, temperature, pressure etc). And i see this phenomenia "Faraday Cage" effect on electronic stuffs, radio frewuency and i remember we're using aluminum on rocket...
