About Us

Meatball Rocketry Logo Since 2002,* Meatball Rocketry has been known as an informational scale rocketry resource, showcasing scale data, articles, and award-winning projects by Josh and Jess Tschirhart.  As of 2012, we also design 3D-printed model parts available through Shapeways.

I (Josh) am a lifelong rocketeer and have been involved in model rocketry since flying rockets with my dad when I was only four years old.  Jess and I started building and flying rockets together in 2001 and now share our enjoyment of rocketry with our children.

*The Meatball Rocketry name and meatballrocketry.com domain name were established December 2003.  The original site was started 3-27-2002 under a different domain.
