These are some of the more interesting links I have collected and use most frequently. They are not arranged in any particular order, other than the categories I have split them into because the list was getting a bit long. If you would like me to list your website here, then send me the URL by email, and I'll take a look. If I consider it useful and/or interesting, then I'll add it to this links page. Alternatively, if for any reason you don't want your site listed here, please email me to let me know and I'll remove it.
Aerocon Systems Small company based in California selling odds and ends to rocketeers at great prices. Military surplus parachutes, graphite for nozzles, electronics and much much more. Highly recommended.
RATT Works Manufacturers of consumer hybrid rocket motors.
Estes Manufacturers of model rocket engines and rocket kits.
Aerotech Manufacturers of consumer composite rocket engines and rocket kits.
PICList.com Very useful resource for anyone using the PIC microcontroller, including a PIC FAQ and the PICList mailing list.
Manufacturers and Suppliers
Peter Anderson Professor of Electronic Engineering, and a supplier of electronic components. Highly recommended.
Crownhill UK-based supplier of microcontrollers and programmers, as well as a small selection of components. Cheaper than RS and Maplins. They come recommended to me, although I must admit I haven't used them myself yet.
RS Components Crap website, too expensive, but millions of components.
Maplins Even worse website, too expensive still, but again a huge selection of components.
Parallax, Inc. Manufacturers of the BASIC Stamp family of microcontrollers.
Microchip Technology, Inc. Manufacturers of the PIC family of microcontrollers, serial EEPROMs and alot more besides.
Maxim Integrated Products Manufactures of various ICs, including analogue-to-digital converters, op-amps, and lots of other stuff.
Analog Devices, Inc. Manufacturers of various ICs, with a good range of sensors.
Motorola Semiconductor Products Manufacturers of various ICs, including the M68HC11 family of microcontrollers and the MPX family of pressure sensors.
Radiometrix Manufacturers of miniature radio transmitters and receivers, useful for RDF and telemetry projects.
RF Solutions Manufacturers of miniature radio transmitters and receivers, useful for RDF and telemetry projects. Seem to be cheaper and have a wider variety of modules than Radiometrix.
Orbiter A free, very realistic space flight simulator. Note that this is not a game, but a simulator. All there is to do is pilot a spacecraft around the solar system. But I think it's rather good.
JPL Basics of Space Flight A good introduction to orbital mechanics, from the people who should know. Useful for the Orbiter simulator.
