WEMS :: Web Educational Missile Source ::

2001
Missiles are not only armed rockets; they can also consist of any object that is projected into the air, such as a rock or a stick. However this site reviews the misconception of missiles, and the physics/dynamics of motion. WEMS also penetrates the knowledge of missile’s existence through the ages, and the basics behind these modern monsters. This topic has inspired many people, fascinating scientist and children for years. Model rockets, a favorite hobby, to the space ships, an established career, have effected many if not all. In WEMS we explain the evolution of missiles, from the first Chinese fireworks to today’s heat seeking missiles. We will also describe other uses of missiles, such as exploration, meteorological studies, launching satellites, and many more. WEMS contains many interactive features, for you to share you comments, views, information, and engage in many experiments. Only with your help will this site become the best it can be.
