Registration is open for our 2022 Solid Rocket Motor Design Classes this summer. Class dates are June 15-18, July 13-16, and September 14-17. During the class, you will learn how to design and build your own solid rocket motor. The class is a "hands-on" experience where you will design, build and test fire your solid rocket motor. Class registration is $249, which includes your lunch for all three and half days plus materials for the class. Seats are limited due to the "hands-on" nature of the class so don't wait until the last minute to sign up if you know you want to attend a class. You can register from the link below.

Today we finished the last Solid Rocket Motor Design Class for 2020. Around late January 2021, we will post the schedule for 2021 classes. The picture shows the forward end of a class rocket motor before firing.

UPDATE: September class is now sold out as well. More classes will be held in 2021.

The July Solid Rocket Motor Design class is sold out! However, there are still a couple of seats left in the September class so you can still attend a class this year. This class will teach you how to design and build your own solid rocket motors in a relaxed and fun environment. This is NOT a "cookbook" propellant formula or "cookbook" motor design class that leaves you without the knowledge to design your own rocket motors or formulate your own propellant. This class will teach you how to design a solid rocket motor to a desired pressure-time and thrust-time curve.
