Rocket Science
Endorsed by The Space Show, our latest effort in Rocketry and Aerospace Engineering is the 910 page book called Rocket Science. Built from hundreds of resources, it represents some of the key topics in Propulsion both solid and liquid, High Power Rocketry and Aerodynamics. We also cover vehicle guidance control and Strurctural Design. You will not find a better textbook for your hobby or professional interests. At only $35.00 its a bargain. It represents a two year effort to give you the best in aerospace design. So you can fly any vehicle at peak performance and safely. Included the telemetry chapter that offers a full range of projects and payloads from the industry. The R/C chapter is focused on proven designs and construction. Rocket Science will be a tool for you today and into the future. Besides the book the additional Augustine Commitee Report and NASA documentation makes this a resource above all others. Further we give you a copy of a spaceflight sim to see how Orbital Mechanics works on vehicles like the X-15, X-20, Gemini capsule and Space Shuttle. And the graphics are nothing short than impressive.
The Next Shuttle
It spans the full scope of Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics, Propulsion and Thermal Protection. The first 3 chapters are a full treatment aerospace history from the X-1 to the Space Shuttle. For the hobbyist there are some 140 pages of information, tables and charts for a host of designs. And scale drawings of many X planes. The Next Shuttle takes you into the future of returning to the Moon and on to Mars, and a host of Space Shuttle follow on designs. And you get a depth of information from some 117 sources from leading aerospace publications. The 439 page book is all packed into a singe CD at a price of only $25.00. It represents a 3 year effort to answer the question what is "The Next Shuttle". And it inspires you to apply low cost practical methods to design models that will turn heads on any launch field.
We now offer Flight Dynamics 4, a complete trajectory simulation program for both unguided and VTS (vertical trajectory systems). The built in chart recorder captures over 29 variables during launch and flight. The program has a 17 motor database in MS Excel to select from or you can customize, The flight manual that comes with the software is more than a review of the Barrowman equations, its a fully documented course in flight mechanics and the methods of performing vertical trajectory control. Compared to the 1993 High Power Rocketry Magazine version, FD4 has many advanced features. The simulator is able to handle both the subsonic and supersonic flight regions Sensors can be any of the following, sun seekers, rate gyro's and free gyro's. Control is by any of the following methods: guidance fins, motor gimbal or cold gas thrusters. We also have included other sources on the CD to round out your capabilities. Our beta testers were impressed with the CD and its priced at only $35 a copy so anyone can afford it. Understanding the dynamics of flight is a critical area that this CD and program will put your designs on the cutting edge. Ordering is easy via PayPal on the Order page above Please note you need MS Windows XP for this application.
We hope you enjoy the website and you can then order either of the CD's. Feel free to write us for information. We can assist your projects as well. We are here to provide the Engineering sources you want to use.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Order via Paypal using the ORDER page above. Rocket Science is now available here and at ARA Press.
