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!
...
By dipping into the shared physics between the propulsion and structures subteams, this lecture exhibits how to design a case that doesn't blow up.
Lecture 6: Hardware Design of Nozzles, Igniters & Closures
This lecture will showcase how we improve the efficiency of thrust with nozzles, how we keep the fire moving in the right direction with closures, and how to light this candle with igniters both in and out of the vehicle.
