# NASA HPR Reference

## Videos

These videos cover the basics of high power rocketry as it related to hobbyists and college teams. Feel free to skip or fast-forward through the slow parts, but on the whole these are relevant and useful to what we do. The target audience is NASA Student Launch teams--a competition STAR has competed in!

## Written Reference

NASA has also nicely compiled all the information needed for L1- and L2-level HPR projects into a \~100-page written document! Check it out here if you're not a fan of watching videos, or if you want a more detailed guide to accompany the videos: <https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/sl_video_instruction_book.pdf>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rocketry.gitbook.io/public/reference/high-power-rocketry-hpr/nasa-hpr-reference.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
