Why do Rocket Science ?

    We chose to do projects centering around rocket science because it is an excellent opportunity for us to learn and hands on application of  scientific principles from a  wide range of science and engineering fields.  We have learned from fields including   the following:

        1. Astrophysics
        2. Chemical Engineering
        3. Atmospheric Science
        4. Material Science
        5. Electronic Engineering
        6. Mathematics
        7. Computer Science.

And, of course, what kid doesn't dream of building rockets??

Why do a website on your Rocket Science projects ?

    We've decided to develop and maintain the Rocket Science website for the following reasons:
    1. We want to post our reports, and various reference data for ourselves
        and for presentation purposes.  After all, we realized that we bit a big
        chunk of a project in scope and detaiil.   So by posting our progress and
        data, we can discuss issues and solutions with various experts online.
    2. We have been asked by several donors to have a website so they can
         watch our progress and read the various reports as they are posted.
         Some of the donors keep in touch with us.

Are you really a bonified conglamorate company ?

    We've actually been asked/called this.  Thanks for the compliment.  But, no.  We are really are doing a high school level projects in our home.  Even the metallurfical processes will be done in our garage on 230V single phase power.  Because of this, the projects have forced us to use creative engineering techniques to make efficient use of the power line capacity and safety measures.

You're only doing the design part, right ?

    Even the folks at NASA asked us this question (See NASA OVERFLOW work
group's forum mail).  No, we're going all the way!  Yes we intend to melt castable aerospace superalloys into real components.  We will be doing real 'manufacturing' type processes tbat are found in advanced metallurgical foundries and silicon FABs.
And, yes, we will be striving to test and launch our rockets based on our designs.

How can we watch your progress ?

    This is one of the key reasons why we have this website. There are a couple of menu buttons you can follow to see what we've done.  For instance,  'News', 'Reports', and 'Indicators' menu buttons are there for you to watch.

This is no way a kid's science project, good stuff though, right ?

    We've had a few folks ask this one too.  The very same people have never seen national or international science fair completions like the "International Science Expo".   The kinds of projects include real demonstrations and topics like "Design a table top cyclotron and study nuclear reactions" to "Develop a semiconductor transistor without lithography" etc.   These topics require advanced understanding of various fields and equipment. Some of these topics actually introduce and demonstrate new ideas in their fields.

We have material we would like to donate, how do we contact you ?

    You can first go to the 'items needed' page under  the 'Help Us' tab to see the items we sorely need.  If you have an item you believe we need but is not on the list, please go to the 'Contact Us' page under the 'Help Us' tab and we can go from there.   We  do not accept any 'cash' type donataions as it makes for too much red tape.
