Finally, I will be able to fly myself to the moon.

That looks like an impressive motor. When it says “single use”, is this a fully factory-assembled single-use motor with no required hardware? If so, that’s kind of cool. What’s the MSRP? Dollars roughly equal to max thrust in Newtons?

It's fully assembled and has to ship 1.3 explosive. You're actually roughly correct about the cost.

I knew it would be spendy, but it sounds awesome.

About 4 Newton Seconds per dollar for this beast.

I may fire one, as a bucket list item.

Do it! I will live vicariously through you on this one.

I'd have to save up for a year or so to buy one. And after that, the rest of my flights at whatever launch I fly at would be MMX powered!

The Aerotech O5500 with 21384 newtons total impulse which is a 98mm motor costs $2999.00

This one is an O6000 with almost double the impulse at 39620 newtons total impulse but its a 152mm motor. I'd be very interested to see what it costs beyond guesses.

Isn't the entire 152mm series used in "the real world" and not originally made for hobbyists? Or do I have that wrong?

I’m glad it’s only $9,999. $10k would have just been too much! It’s only four figures.

That's still only 7k on a black Friday sale

The CTI Pro150 O8000 was originally designed as a UAV booster. It's closer to 160mm in diameter. The 152mm standard for EX, Loki, and AT comes from the off-the-shelf availability of 6" aluminum tubing. The CTI reloadable hardware for the full O8000 is more expensive to machine and is type 3 hardcoat anodized.

Not sure what they charge, but doesn’t CTI rent the O8000 hardware to the flyer

Yeah, but they'd want it back, wouldn't they? Chances are pretty good that it would never be seen again...

From their website:

"The Pro150� O8000 is the largest industry certified high power rocket motor on the market today. Due to the high cost of the motor hardware, and the limited number of hardware sets liable to be available for loan or rent through normal channels, Cesaroni Technology Incorporated offers a hardware rental program through its dealers. When placing an order for a Pro150� reload kit through your dealer, the dealer may order from us a set of rental hardware to be delivered with the reload kit. The rental hardware will be packaged with the reload. The hardware must be thouroughly cleaned and shipped back to CTI freight prepaid as soon as possible. Additional details will be available from your CTI motor dealer." I would think that if you loose it, you bought it. That would only be right.

Yes, CTI will rent the Pro150 hardware.
