Help Please?

Im a high school senior and I an doing a project on space technology advances in my physics class. I was wondering if there was anyone that could help me with any questions and that had experience or qualifications in space exploration. i would apreciate it immensely.

high school senior? i'm 10!

try nasa.gov advanced propulsion n future technology, also bbc.co.uk space then the bits on the propulsion, solar sails etc

You could try encarta and any links of it onto the internet, if not try a search engine, anyway I did a mini project on this sort of thing myself and found quite a few intresting things, try these key words on a search engine:
-solid fueled rockets
-liquid fueled rockets
-hybrid fueled rockets (mix between solid and liquid, or using acid and solid)
-solar sailing (ion stream from sun)
-ion drives (uses some kind of solar panel and uses this to propel itself)


Need anymore and im sure i can turf something out.

A couple of other resources:

Encyclopedia Astronautica: Fairly useful for old news.

SEDS: Students for the Exploration and Development of Space: Another good group of people, mostly AE college students. Probably a good idea to use the old index (click the link in the upper-right-hand corner). It's in a little better shape than the new one.

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics: The premier club for aviation- and space-minded individuals. Join when you get the chance. Take it from a Student Member.

And of course, the unforgettable
Space.Com: Something Amazing Every Day: Can't beat it. 'Nuff said.
