On: A Rocket Built by Students Reaches Space

[wallace_f]

Thanks for sharing your experience here. I'd actually love to learn more about advances made in amateur rocketry lately, if you have any good links to share.

Currently there are three names that are repeatedly doing successful high alt two stage projects. Curt von Delius, Kip D, and Jim Jarvis.

Kip's two stage flight from last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdkqZV4RirI

Kurt's PHNX4 flight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0imcpdLdB8

And Jim, well just have a look for Jim Jarvis rocket on youtube!

Tripoli's records page is a good place to get more info on high alt record flights. http://tripoli-records.org/records/

And TRF is excessively noisy but it's the place where Jim and Kip document their work. Curt's a bit more secretive comparatively. https://www.rocketryforum.com/
