WORLD WIDE WEB — The Rocket Files book is now available from Western Space Technology. A compilation by Joseph Jimmerson, this book encompasses nearly every aspect of all rocketry (model, high power, experimental, and commercial).

Contents include history, propulsion theory, experimental hobby motors, design techniques, electronics, experiments, scale models, ground support equipment, and space applications, to include the space environment, orbital mechanics, and space missions.

"Rocketboy" Quentin Wilson stated, "This book is comprehensible for beginning amateur rocketry and comprehensive in scope. It contains some points about which advanced rocket amateurs may find interesting." Check out WST's web-site for a complete listing of contents.

Fully illustrated and chock full of over 130 pictures and diagrams, this book develops a link between hobby rocketry and commercial rocketry. This book is best suited for those beginning in rocketry through those making the transition from high power to experimental rocketry.

The Rocket Files is 190 black and white pages softbound with a handsome cover, printed by Jimmerson Industries Press. Dr. Terry McCreary commented, "The Rocket Files has a place in the rocketeer's library."

The Rocket Files is available now for $22.00 through secure online ordering at http://westspacetech.9f.com. For a limited time, your purchase of the book will include two technical reports to supplement the text: TR#6 Umbilical Systems and TR#7 Orbital Maneuvering.
