One of the unique aspects of U.S. Rockets motors is a wide variety of
options of propellant outputs all with very similar ballistic properties.
Therefore we have more shippable motor propellant styles than any other
vendor. This page shows a variety of motors in operation, in various sizes
so you can see what to expect.
18mm Expendable (Single Use)
For model rockets under one pound for power levels B-G. These
specialty motors are NOT generally available at this time. However dealers
are encouraged to make large bulk orders of these motors so they become
available sooner and in greater diversity. Because these are the most
difficult and expensive motors to produce we make in terms of labor per unit,
they remain very rare. Do not bother to place an order for under 500 units
because it won't happen this year.
24mm Expendable (Single Use) Generally for
model rockets under one pound for power levels C-H as model rockets. Perfect
starter or crossover motors moving up from model rocketry (MR) to large model
rocketry (LMR).
29mm Expendable (Single Use) The overall
most
popular motor size in the (over C power) world! Use in model rockets under
one pound with power levels C-G and in large model rockets under 3.3 pounds
with power levels E-H. 29mm also can cross over into HPR a bit with H-J.
Perfect for repeat sport flyers and for use in kits from MR to LMR to HPR.
Amazing diversity of motor choices make USR stand apart as your primary motor
supplier.
38mm Expendable (Single Use) For High Power
Rocketry (HPR) power levels H-K. Get started in larger HPR rockets and stay
with the standard motor size we pioneered (38mm) and which has become a true
industry standard. When you see our offered motor choices you will soon see
why!
29mm Reloadable The only "grease-free"
and
"reload o-ring free" reloadable motor experience in rocketry today is also
the only system which has 7 fewer leaks than the "other" systems and allows
you to reload in almost as little time as prepping an expendable. Last we
checked the flying experience was about flying, not fiddling with lots of
little parts at the launch site during hot or cold weather as you sweat to
death or your fingers freeze off. Our reload kits are "glove compatible"
and "big finger compatible". U.S. Rockets knows rockets!
Innovative propellant styles too.
38mm Reloadable The only "grease-free"
and
"reload o-ring free" reloadable motor experience in rocketry today is also
the only system which has 7 fewer leaks than the "other" systems. We love
saying that! This is the standard motor size we pioneered (38mm) and which
has become a true industry standard. There are some companies proffering
62.5g propellant based reload systems as "easy access". Bogus. Our 125g
systems are technically superior and are within the only meaningful weight
limit. The 125g model rocket weight limit proposed by U.S. Rockets and
adopted by NAR and translated to many laws and regulations since. The 62.5g
limit is merely a DOT-E-7887 and CPSC limit and has no meaning to adult
supervised launches or anything except a narrow range of DOT class shipments.
38mm systems can fly on maximum model rocket power (minimum) and can range in
power through H, I, J. Custom variants deliver K and L power. This is a
versatile size.
54mm Reloadable The only "grease-free"
and
"reload o-ring free" reloadable motor experience in rocketry today is also
the only system which has 7 fewer leaks than the "other" systems. We love
chanting that repeatedly! This is the standard motor size we popularized
(54mm) around 1980-82 and which has become a true industry standard. Our
125g systems are within the only meaningful weight limit, the 125g model
rocket weight limit proposed by U.S. Rockets and adopted by NAR and
translated to many laws and regulations since. 54mm systems can fly on
maximum model rocket power (minimum) and can range in power through H, I, J,
K. Custom variants deliver L and M power as well using longer and heavier
grain segments. This is a professional class power size.
Custom Motors U.S. Rockets has long
served military markets. We now serve the new MIL-COTS market, commercial
research and testing, movie special effects (rent "Top Gun", "The Running
Man", "Mosquito Coast", "Flight of the Intruder"...) and even the custom
amateur market for financially secure humans who launch in remote desert
launch sites worldwide!! Big toys for big boys or space rated thrusters for
activating your spy satellite, we do it all. And yes, we toot our own horn.
Being THE leader gives us that right with humility. Beep, beep. And when
pushing that launch button on your own flight remember, "the harder you push
the higher it goes." (grin).
IGNITERS AND ACCESSORIES U.S. Rockets
offers several igniters (purchased separately with reloads, included with
expendables) and accessories to provide basics such as spare igniters, as
well as specialty items such as special staging igniters, clustering
igniters, dual deployment system expendables, and much more.
