My search for information in the subject of rocketry took me to many different forms of media. Newspapers, magazines, books, interviews, and last but certainly not least, the all powerful (and sometimes frustrating) Internet. The first place I started looking (or should I say finding) was the library. Actually, this is where I got my idea. I saw a book on rocketry. Then I went online.

Rockets are used as fireworks, signals, and weapons; in WWII rocket bombs proved to be effective military weapons."

Rocketry can also be a learning aide in schools. It helps teach math and science. Chemistry, physics, aerodynamic properties and even natural sciences. If you want to find out how high your rocket went, you need to take advantage of trigonometry. For example, just from this report I have learned that to find the height of a rocket you need to multiply the tangent of the angle A times the distance from the launchpad to where you are standing.

have a variety of choices. Estes, Aerotech and Quest are all leading manufacturers in model rockets. With so much variety its hard to find a reason not to get into the hobby.

everyday rocketeers the fins will be at the bottom. The engine is composed of a mount and a hook. The mount tightly holds the rocket and the hook keeps it there. In the middle is the launch lug. This keeps the rocket on course for the most important fractions of a second of its flight. Not to m
