Front cover, sample page, and back cover of High Power Research Magazine, issue of fall 1984. High Power Research Magazine was printed in black and white (save for the coloured paper used for the cover pages), and it had a distinct underground fanzine feel. It was based in Cuba/OH, edited by Mike Nelson, and featured a number of individuals who were or became key figures of modern high power rocketry.
I received this particular issue as a gift from Vulcan Systems Inc., a composite motor manufacturer with whom I was corresponding at the time. For us living in Switzerland, any such publications were treasure throves of previously unknown and highly inspiring information on advanced rocketry.
This 24-page issue of High Power Research Magazine contained high power rocketry news, numerous intriguing ads by emerging rocketry companies, kit and motor reviews, coverage of a launch at Lucerne Dry Lake, further launch reports, reader's letters, and - of course - a detailed feature on Vulcan Systems Inc.
Of note, among many other things in the magazine, is a photo of a younger Gary Rosenfield of Aerotech, during the Lucerne Dry Lake launch (centre image, photo top left).
