Some Rocket related stuff I've found lying around

A while back, I was leading a project to begin making and launching a small sounding rocket. Using my limited knowledge I created several documents to help educate the rest of my team which I thought might be nice just to show you all and see what is thought of it. Unfortunately, the project has been suspended indefinitely (I expect forever), due to the joy we like to call Coronavirus. As you can tell, I'm not exactly an expert, so a lot of information within there may not be 100% accurate. What you're going to see are the works I tried to make, so that rocketry is accessible for everyone.

On a happier note, Project Origin, one of the documents you will read, is being taken on by me as a personal project, where I'm going to build up skills to develop a fully autonomous Sounding Rocket, and hopefully at some point a space capable rocket.

 

For now though, enjoy.

Here's the giant thread where a bunch of us tried to come up with a possible amature built rocket to orbit.  

Reality check:

You can do a lot with a shoestring budget, especially if you are aware of the licensing requirements in your country.  There should be a lot of room between off-the-shelf Estes rocket and government-backed sounding rockets.  Just realize that after a certain point, the budgets get really big (Raven mentioned a $60,000 budget to lift 1kg to [just under] 45,000ft).

When we set out to make something, the requirements weren't space, more a functioning rocket. Budget obviously wasn't going to be high, but we considered companies sponsoring us. In terms of what I'm doing, its only going to be small in terms of budget and target altitude, but it's worth setting your sights for the stars if there's a project in mind.
