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)...

The rocket I fly is typically set up for a stability of 1.3-1.5 calibers, including the effect of the canards on stability. For the canards I use (a root and span of 2" for example), a canard deflection of 6° might result in a turn rate of 25°/s for yaw or pitch.
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, I'm intimidated by all the tiny parts. I'm wondering if there's anything that works with iPhone perhaps? Something simple and cheaper than the $500 kits I see on some websites?
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...
Suppose a zipperless-style dual deploy rocket with a floating avbay sunk into one of the tubes. I have various recovery hardware (shock cords, quicklinks, chutes, blankets, etc.) for both drogue and main bays.
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 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...
For instance, you can plot the rocket CD as a function of Mach number. SVG Fin Export: Export fin shapes directly to SVG for laser cutting or importing into CAD tools. Enhanced Simulation tab UI: This is the beginning of a multi-release effort to make it easier to manage simulations and interpret their results.
