NASA Currently trying to build a rocket to launch into space

[Dr 118]

TL;DR

im a first year a level student that wants to launch a small scale rocket into space

its always been a dream of mine to visit the stars and now that I'm old enough and in a levels i wanted to send a bit of myself to space in a rocked like a hair or something but I've ran into some problems and came here to ask for your opinions on what fuel i should use and what material i should use the the shell of rocket as am only in first year a levels so any suggestions would be much appreciated and the fuel will take up about 90 percent mass and launch the rocket about 830Km the maths behind it i can take care of but just need to know some good and prerferably somewhat affordable materials to use but i am willing to break the bank a little

Welcome to PF.

Your Profile shows that you are in UK, so I did a Google search on amateur rocketry clubs in the UK and got lots of hits. Maybe try the same search to find the one that is closest to you. Linking up with your local club is definitely the best way to learn more about amateur rocketry and to get some hands-on experience.
