Handbook of Model Rocketry
Sixth Edition
By G. Harry Stine
G. Harry Stine, founder and past president of the
NAR, started the first model rocket company whose kits are now in the
Smithsonian. An engineer, science writer, and science fiction author, he is one
of 50 U.S. space pioneers honored with a silver medal by the U.S. Army
Association. More than 35 years after his first model rocket went skyward, and
over 500 million model rockets later, Stine continues to design, fly, and teach
others how to do it
FEATURES: National Association of Rocketry (NAR) official handbook. This new
edition of the model rocketeer's "bible" shows you how to safely
build, launch, track and recover model rockets--and have fun doing it. Whether
you're a beginner or a veteran model rocketeer, this book will become your
well-used reference book. Recent technological progress has had a major effect
on the model rocket hobby and sport. This revised and updated edition covers
such new technology as: -Revised computer programs that use improved versions
of BASIC. -Composite propellant model rocket motors. -Building and flying large
model rockets. -Radio-controlled boost gliders and rocket gliders.
-Solid-state, microchip, computer-readable modules used to measure temperature,
pressure, acceleration, and airspeed.
