Rocket Sky Grid (RSG)™

                                                       Wilfred Ashley McIsaac

Introducin' t' world’s simplest and most reliable rocket guidance system geared towards almost any amateur rocketeer lookin' for a precision landing.

        (Above)  An example o' a typical Rocket Sky Grid (RSG) showin' where you would aim your rocket in t' sky if t' wind is blowin' from t' south/west and if you wanted t' rocket t' land east o' t' launch site.  T' red line indicates t' rocket's flight path from (A) t' (B) and ultimately t' return t' point ©. Arrr!  (note:  try and picture t' sky grid continuin' all t' way down t' t' ground and across t' t' launch pad.  This will assist you in locatin' t' proper grids for lift-off and t' ever important landin' grid.

ROCKETEERS WARNING!!!  When experimentin' with t' Rocket Sky Grid wherever you are, arrr, please take precautions in always keepin' friends, arrr, family, or even casual spectators out o' harms way.  As any seasoned rocketeer knows, rockets and their recovery systems can be very unpredictable and very dangerous. Arrr!  Stay safe and have fun with your new guidance system. Avast, me proud beauty!

HOW IT WORKS:  Before launchin' your rocket take a moment while standin' at t' launch pad and look up at t' patch o' sky you plan on flyin' your rocket towards.  Imagine a grid placed over t' blue back drop similar t' an X and O game (see above). Now record t' wind direction followed by a meticulous survey o' t' area where you are searchin' for t' safest place for your rocket t' land. Avast! Keepin' t' grid in mind, picture t' flight path o' your launch vehicle and select a square on t' grid that you feel be t' most compatible t' that flight path and landin' site. Well, blow me down!  T' next step is t' aim t' rocket into your proper grid section already predetermined by t' wind direction, weath
