high power rocketry

NYPower26 is fast approaching. Held every year during Memorial Day weekend, this year it's May 25-27. What is NYPower? It's a Rocketry Festival featuring low power, mid power, high power & night launches with an 8,000ft waiver. Fun for all ages and skill levels. Spectators are always welcome and...

I was looking into different dual-deploy concepts and am wondering if anyone has thoughts. I noticed on single-sep dual deploy concepts (the avionics stay in the same airframe/ only one separation event) that I haven't seen anyone keep their main parachute inside the rocket after drogue deploy...

So I attempted my L1 cert flight back in January, but it didn't go that well. Here's a link to my flight report thread if you're interested: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/tis-but-a-scratch.177191/ . But I am back in the saddle with my next rocket, the little brother to Genesis, Genesis...

I recently purchased and am starting to build a Public Missiles SWR-300 rocket kit. It is a 2.6 diameter rocket that boasts a generous 14.75” internal payload bay. I’m planning to use a Jolly Logic Chute Release for recovery which means I will not be employing any dual-deployment electronics...

So I attempted my L.1 HPR flight yesterday with my 5 foot rocket Genesis. It was a scratch built rocket designed by me. I flew on a I175-WS motor and reached 1200 feet. however, the flight ended in catastrophic failure when the chutes didn't deploy. overall, it was a very educational flight...

I ordered a 2.6" Dark Star kit with the 54mm motor mount from Wildman during the Holiday sale and am super excited to get going on it when it arrives. On Wildman's site there is a RockSim file for the 3" version but since the 2.6" is new there isn't a RockSim file yet. Anyone out there got a...

Hey! Who's all planning on coming out to Sullivan Lake this year? What are you bringing to fly? I'm planning on bringing out my entire high-power collection of course, including a fiberglass rocket that I call Higher Calling. She hasn't flown since Rock Lake 21 (2019). Once again, I plan on...

I have a rocket that I will be recovering 100% on electronics with no motor deployment whatsoever. I do have both primary and secondary dual-deployment altimeters employed for this project. It has been ground tested, so the proper amount of black powder is known and confirmed. Now I’m...

We’ve all been there at one time or another. So, what is the biggest thing holding you back from getting your Level One HPR Certification?

Hello, I am new at the Forum. Because of that ı don't any idea for Forum rules. Anyway. I am designing High Powered Rocket at Openrocket. Rocket flights 3.000 Meter (10.000 feet). But i have a problem with Static Margin at Apogee, when i simulated.As you can see below Graphic, my Rocket's...

54mm Powered ANTI-VIRUS PREFACE With the onset of COVID-19 and its fallout, the interrupting supply chains and size limiting or outright cancellation of launches and other rocketry events, how can its spread be stopped? Wearing masks, social distancing, vaccines? No... with an injection... with...

Hello All, I wanted to share an opportunity to come on as an advisor or mentor to an NYC based aerospace nonprofit. We have divisions at 12 schools/universities in the NYC metro area, and work with talented young engineers to develop aerospace projects. Many of the students working with us are...
