This is a report on the first liquid propellant rocket to be fired by the RRS, a hydrogen peroxide monopropellant sounding rocket. The rocket was designed and built by David Elliott and Lee Rosenthal, and was tested in 1950 with the assistance of other members of the RRS.

(Sorry I had to take this back down. The Executive Council wants to double check to make sure we have the copyright to our own publication. Hopefully we’ll have this back up soon.)
The RRS used to offer a course on composite propellants. This included a trip to the MTA where participants would cast and test a motor. This is the text that accompanied the course. It includes material written for the course and reprints of relevant RRS articles.
