Hello from the UK!

[OrbitalJoe]

Just posting to say hi, as I am new here. I live in the UK, I'm 13 years old and am obsessed with everything spaceflight, aerospace and rocketry. I am currently building a hybrid rocket motor (or engine, the terminology debate rages on ) running on nitrous oxide and high density polyethylene. Right now, I'm working on the nitrous tank. I haven't tested it yet, but the motor is designed to produce 2500 newtons of thrust for about ten seconds and have an isp of about 225.5 seconds (293.3 in a vacuum). I've always had fun with orbiter, messing about when I should be doing homework, and have recently had a go at making my own meshes and vessels.

Hello, and to Orbiter-Forum!

There's a section of this forum devoted to model rockets, here:
http://www.orbiter-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=57

Please be careful and lawful when doing these things. Rocket engines of any size are exceedingly dangerous.

Welcome! I love space and getting there too, and love to go to the local model rocketry club, and I'm even 13 like you.

Remember to hail The Probe everytime you start up orbiter, If you don't know what that means, look her up on Orbiterwiki.
We even have an emoticon for hailing

Also, that's a very nice looking rocket you've got in your avatar!
