Rocket Science by Dave Ketchledge
 Endorsed
by The Space Show, the latest effort in Rocketry and Aerospace
Engineering is the 910 page book called Rocket Science. Built
from hundreds of resources, it represents some of the key topics in
Propulsion both solid and liquid, High Power Rocketry and
Aerodynamics. I t also covers vehicle guidance control and
Structural Design. You will not find a better textbook for
your hobby or professional interests. At only $35.00 its a bargain.
It represents a two year effort to give you the best in aerospace
design so you can fly any vehicle at peak performance and safely.
Included the telemetry chapter that offers a full range of projects
and payloads from the industry. The R/C chapter is focused on
proven designs and construction. Rocket Science will be a tool
for you today and into the future. Besides the book the
additional Augustine Committee Report and NASA documentation makes
this a resource above all others. Further you will get a copy
of a spaceflight simulation to see how Orbital Mechanics works on
vehicles like the X-15, X-20, Gemini capsule and Space Shuttle.
And the graphics are nothing short than impressive.
The Next Shuttle by Dave Ketchledge
 This
book spans the full scope of Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics,
Propulsion and Thermal Protection. The first 3 chapters are a
full treatment aerospace history from the X-1 to the Space Shuttle.
For the hobbyist there are some 140 pages of information, tables and
charts for a host of designs. And scale drawings of many X
planes. The Next Shuttle takes you into the future of
returning to the Moon and on to Mars, and a host of Space Shuttle
follow on designs. And you get a depth of information from some 117
sources from leading aerospace publications. The 439 page book
is all packed into a singe CD at a price of only $25.00. It
represents a 3 year effort to answer the question what is "The Next
Shuttle". And it inspires you to apply low cost
practical methods to design models that will turn heads on any
launch field.
