According to a Space Act Agreement signed by SpaceX and NASA’s Ames Research Center in June 2018, the private company has begun working with NASA to acquire some basic experience and lessons-learned with a thermal protection (heat shield) material that is largely new to SpaceX. Known as TUFROC (short for Toughened Uni-piece Fibrous Reinforced Oxidation-Resistant Composite), […]

A rocket (from Italian rocchetto "bobbin") is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle that obtains thrust from a rocket engine. Rocket engine exhaust
Using self-constructed balloon rockets, students will explore the effects of different variables on speed. They will adjust the amount of air in the balloon and the angle of the launch path of the rocket. This lab calls for the students to graph and analyze their results, use their data to prove o...

Straw Rockets in Flight! Engineer's Delight
They don't call it the "Large, Dangerous Rocket Ships" event for nothing.
Model Rocket Launch Controller: Two weeks ago, I walked into physics lab to see the lab tech drawing a circuit diagram on the board. It rapidly became clear that this diagram was for a launch controller for model rockets. Apparently my physics professor had built one, and we were …
