Rockets and Other Spacecraft (How Science Works)

A new series which explains clearly how machines work. Key scientific and mechanical principles are lucidly explained before demonstrating how these have been put to practical use by vehicle designers over the years. Readers are encouraged to get to grips with the problems of design by making a model following step-by-step instructions. Rockets and other Spacecraft looks at the key topics of gravity and drag, how rockets and spacecraft are powered, how they are built and how they are steered and controlled. The book contains plans for a fully working rocket powered by water pressure.
