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.

After joining aRocket,,,and IF you are allowed to their Files section,,,then look
at the Uploaded Files,,,,,Every thing imaginable,about Rockets.
Good Luck
a Fascinating subject,Rockets,
