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.  We also design model parts for 3D printing (formerly available through Shapeways).

I (Josh) am a lifelong rocketeer and have been involved in model rocketry on and off since flying rockets with my dad when I was about four years old.  Jess and I started building and flying rockets together in 2001 and shared our enjoyment of rocketry with our children as they were growing up.

*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.
