CEDAR CITY, Utah USA — The Tripoli Motor Testing (TMT) Committee of the Tripoli Rocketry Association has certified two new AeroTech high power Mojave Green™ propellant reloads to fit AeroTech, Dr. Rocket™ and Rouse-Tech™ 75/5120 RMS™ hardware.
The new reloads include the 75/5120 L2200G-P and the 75/5120 M1500G-P. The L2200G is a 99.4% 'L'-class recertified and "detuned" version of the M2030G and is perfect for 'L' motor altitude attempts and for flying large, heavy rockets by Level 2 or 3 certified flyers. The M1500G has slightly higher total impulse but with an extended burn time and is suitable for Level 3 certification. Both reloads produce Mojave Green's signature green flame with brilliant and distinct "mach diamonds" and a moderate amount of smoke.
Performance data, specifications and prices for the new motors are as follows: | Reload kit designation | L2200G-P | M1500G-P | | AeroTech part no. | 12220P | 13150P | | RMS hardware | 75/5120 | 75/5120 | | Total impulse, (N-sec) | 5104 | 5220 | | Burn time (sec) | 2.32 | 3.46 | | Propellant weight (g) | 2518 | 2631 | | Loaded motor weight (g) | 4783 | 4896 | | Suggested retail price | $280.00 | $280.00 |
Since the previously-released M2030G motor is being discontinued, M2030G customers will soon have the option of exchanging their M2030G propellant grains with the new M1500G grains through their authorized AeroTech dealer. The M1500G nozzle, liner and other motor parts are identical to those used in the M2030G and do not need to be replaced. The L2200G-P may be sold to NAR or Tripoli Level 2 certified purchasers in possession of an ATFE Low Explosive User Permit (LEUP). The M1500G requires a Level 3 NAR or Tripoli certification in addition to the LEUP. Deliveries to AeroTech's high-power RMS dealers are expected to begin by early December. Applicable certification documents, motor instructions and assembly drawings will soon be available for download in PDF format from the Resource Library on the AeroTech website at http://www.aerotech-rocketry.com.
