Is the core challenge on amateur rocketry the amount of fuel that you can put on board the rocket. Essentially a cost equation on the design components?
It would be super fun to do but isn't that the big different -- design and shape certainly make a difference but are they not mostly determined at this point with subtle iterations?
- mryall 2y agoThis article has a good summary: https://www.apogeerockets.com/Peak-of-Flight/Newsletter533 https://www.apogeerockets.com/Peak-of-Flight/Newsletter533 The key challenges called out are a) fuel, b) robust airframe, c) active guidance to handle varying conditions, d) funding for testing and robust components. The article goes into a good amount of detail on each.
