Lecture 1: Theory and Basics of Solid Rocket Propulsion
Introduce yourself to the basic physics behind rockets, the different equations that govern how rockets behave, and the basic components that turn the energy of an explosion into something we can use to launch things into the sky!
Lecture 2: Propellant Formulation
This lecture will showcase the different types of ingredients involved in a solid propellant, and how to design and evaluate a formula to fit the needs of a motor.
Lecture 3: Propellant Production
