Whitepaper — Analysis of Flight Computer Data
URL: http://www.rocketryplanet.com/images/pdf/Analysis-of-Flight-Computer-Data.pdf
Summary: This project develops a natural extension to single-axis accelerometer analysis (OVAA) that permits interpretation of data from off-vertical trajectories. Ten vertical and off-vertical flights are analyzed. Major conclusion: Single-axis accelerometers constrain us to substantially ballistic trajectories, but not to vertical trajectories.

Whitepaper — Electrical Current Requirements of Model Rocket Igniters
URL: http://blastzone.com/pml/images/IgnitersWhitePaperbyG-Wiz.pdf
Summary: Author: Robert Briody. Every model or high power rocket flight begins with a single event. An igniter or electric match is electrically initiated which in turn ignites the blackpowder or composite propellant. For such a critical role, little technical information is available regarding the electrical characteristics of these devices. Some manufacturers of electric matches provide "no fire'" and "all fire" current ratings for their devices. While important from a safety perspective, this information conveys nothing as to the devices true electrical characteristics. This document will shed some much needed light on the electrical characteristics of electric matches.

Whitepaper — Model Rocket Drag Analysis — NAR R&D Report
URL: http://web.syr.edu/~smdemar/rocketdrag.html
Summary: This NAR Research & Development report describes a series of experiments using a computerized wind tunnel to determine the drag coefficients of typical model rocket designs. The main goal of this report is to derive a practical list of drag coefficients to improve the usefulness of existing altitude prediction software.

Whitepaper — Radio Rocket Location using Walston Transmitters and Receivers
URL: http://www.colonialvirginiahpr.org/walston.html
Summary: Sue McMurray discusses the use of Walston Tracking Transmitters for rocketry use, even tracking down a loose transmitter which separated from the airframe and was located over 25 miles away. According to Sue, a tracking transmitter is cheap insurance.
