Well when I was a kid, we used Estes model rockets with various 
modifications.  Back then I didn't know anything about aerodynamics or 
center of gravity, so they usually had eccentric flight paths, tracing 
figure eights in the sky or aiming for people's heads.  I never did get 
a satellite into orbit.

As far as what the professionals did, I have no idea... that would be a 
good web search topic.
