Stuart Lodge’s book provides full details of rocket launch systems and propulsion systems to shoot the rocket skywards, followed by recovery systems to lower the missile back to earth. The complexities of stability and aerodynamics are covered in detail, and information on scale models, rocket-boosted gliders and the international contest forum are de-mystified and presented as tempting routes for the reader to take on the route to the stars! Heads up… 5-4-3-2-1… enjoy!
