CEDAR CITY, Utah USA — The National Association of Rocketry (NAR) has certified two new AeroTech long-burning high power Reloadable Motor System™ (RMS™) rocket motor reloading kits, the M650W and the M750W.

The M650W is a 75mm diameter reload that fits AeroTech, Rouse-Tech™ or Dr. Rocket™ 75/6400 RMS hardware. Certified at 5,964 N-sec of total impulse, the M650W has a NAR-certified burn time of 9.13 seconds and a peak thrust of 1,475 Newtons (332 lbs).

New 75mm and 98mm RMS moonburning motors.

The M750W is a 98mm diameter reload that fits the 98/10240 RMS hardware. It was certified at 9,325 N-sec of total impulse, with a burn time of 12.65 seconds and a peak thrust of 1,454 Newtons (327 lbs).

Both the M650W and the M750W use segmented White Lightning™ propellant grains in a "moonburning" offset core geometry. The segments are bonded together by the user during assembly with 15 minute epoxy to allow the motor to burn as a single grain configuration. By offering the reload kit in segments, the reloads may be shipped inexpensively by common carriers such as UPS or FedEx using AeroTech's special permit DOT-SP 10996.

The M750W reload kit includes a new "Medusa™" multi-throat nozzle and must be used with a new enlarged 98mm aft closure that will be available from AeroTech and Rouse-Tech.

The two reloads will debut at LDRS-26 in Jean, NV on July 12-17 and will be made available through an exclusive arrangement with What's Up Hobbies and Mojave Desert High Power (MDHP). MDHP will be the exclusive LDRS-26 dealer for the 75mm M650W, while What's Up Hobbies will be the exclusive dealer for the 98mm M750W. After LDRS, the motors will be available through any authorized AeroTech dealer. Prices for the new long-burn reloads will be the same as their core-burning counterparts.

Applicable NAR certification documents, instructions and assembly drawings are now available for download in PDF format from the AeroTech Resource Library on the AeroTech website at http://www.aerotech-rocketry.com/.
