I suppose that you must first check with the ANAC (Agencia national de Aviacion Civil) : The airspace at an altitude above 1200 feet (around 400m) is generally regulated. The ANAC must have done some regulations about amateur rockets and you will need an authorization of the Air Traffic Control before launching your rocket : 14 km is a usual cruize altitude for commercial flights ! Here is a link to the american National Association of Rocketery. They give some interresting informations about security and they say they can provide safe engines to their members. http://www.nar.org/about.html Saudacoes cordais de Francia. Thank you, i will check that. I thought this forum was more active, but anyway thanks for your response. P.s: Just talked to ANAC, my question was '' is there any regulation for construction and launching amateur rockets?''. They said i will receive the answer within 20 day, but as soon as i receive it i will put here.

I think it is permitted, but ''i think'' is never a good answer so i will get in touch with the army or some other government agency so I can clear the things out (as a matter effect i live in Brazil). It would be safe since i will have the support of my teachers (it would be too dangerous doing this by my self), and about other people that's why i asked about the launching site, i don't want the rocket parts falling into someones head.

Hi, i'm new in the forum, just singed in.I was thinking of doing a nice science project next year, which i will be on the first year of High School. My main goal with this project is to exceed the limit of 14 km of altitude. I'm not an expert in this subject but i have time to learn. Below will be the questions i have: Dimensions, what would be more efficient? Fuel, what should i use? Basics physic(and chemistry) subjects i should know before starting. Expanses, is it too expansive (not a big problem but i have to know if i'm going to spend $500 or $5000)? Launch site, where would be a good place to launch it (a desert or something?)? I'm really a beginner so anything you can tell me that will help me with this will be very useful, but please understand that what i'm trying to do is greater than that bottle rockets. P.s: Sorry for any mistakes i make, English is not my native language. And please don't judge me , i'm just a guy with an idea.
