Rocket CATO (2011-06-19)

14 foot ameteur rockets still use formulas generated by rocket scientists from more than 70 years ago. Break the rules of physics and pay the price. This is just one CATO from LDRS 23 in Geneseo NY, the launch was short and expensive.

X system Hybrid Rocket Launch system-pad view (2011-06-19)

Hypertek hybrid rocket motors use a fill stem instead of a fill line, the X system allows the stem to drop at ignition instead of forcing the rocket to work it's way off.
