STARTOWN, North Carolina USA -- Total Impulse Rocketry is proud to announce it is now open for business. Initial product offerings focus on the need for reliable yet inexpensive recovery harnesses and harness protectors in sport rocketry.

Owner Tom Henderson brings to Total Impulse Rocketry 16 years of engineering experience in the design and manufacture of woven pulling tapes and composite strength elements for the telecommunications industry. Seeing the need for improved reliability in this often overlooked aspect of the HPR hobby, it was felt that the knowledge gained in the manufacture of the world‚s best selling pulling tape would definitely have a positive impact on the sport.
