About Me

DARK

Rocketry

Since 1984, I have been a member of the Danish Amateur Rocketry Club - DARK, where I am currently the president.
During my many years of amateur rocketry, I have been involved in construction of airframes, payload electronics and rocket motors. Also the more theorethical aspects of rocketry has caught my interest with studies of aerodynamics, trajectory calculation - and the aspects of safety and planning of launching campaigns.


Projects

I always have a long list of ongoing projects, that I am working on - or at least would like to be working on. Some examples from the current list:

Payload for rockets
Calculation of drag and stability for supersonic rockets
Wind effects on trajectory
Ongoing development of this WEB site.

Launches

How did I get into rocketry?

I recently found some photos from my early steps in the field of amateur rocketry.
This is the story of the rocket boys of Lyngby ;-))

Paintings

Very much off topic - From time to time I do a little painting for fun and relaxation.
Check out my paintings ;-)
