Where can I find literature on rocket design and flight?

AI Thread Summary
Literature on rocket design and flight can be found in specialized books, with "Modern Design for Liquid Propellant of Rocket Engines" being highly recommended as a key reference in the rocket community. Joining forums like aRocket is suggested, where experienced rocket scientists share knowledge and resources, though caution is advised due to the forum's strict moderation and the potential for sarcastic interactions. Access to the forum's Files section can provide a wealth of information on various rocket-related topics. Engaging with knowledgeable individuals in these communities can enhance understanding of the engineering and physics principles of rocket flight. Overall, exploring both literature and community resources is essential for anyone interested in rocket science.

I'm hoping that someone can guide me toward some literature on 'rocket science'. I know that is not very descriptive, but essentially, I would like to learn about the engineering and physics principles that govern rocket flight (to include propulsion and guidance). I have found some books online, but I have no idea what might be useful. I would welcome and appreciate any input you could provide. Thanks!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Look into joining the aRocket Forum,,,,,,most of the posters own their own rocket
companies,,,,ALL are Rocket Scientist (or on their way to becoming),,,,,,Do Not
Bounce into aR,,unless with a carefully thought out and proper Post.Caution,,,Rocket
Engineers can be some of the most sarcastic people around.Also Heavily Moderated. Which of course,makes it what it is.The Best.

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
