Ast Rockets flew two of their new composite rocket motors. One, a long burn G15 flew far with a burn time of around 7
seconds. The other, the G33.5 used a + sign grain geometry, this three second burn APCP motor ripped off of the pad. Both
motors use the Aerotech 38/120 casing.

38 mm sugar propellant reloads for Aerotech Casings are currently in the Beta Testing stage. If the grains ever become
available for purchase they are expected to retail for $3.00 - $3.50 per grain.</FONT> </FONT></DIV>
