Greetings fellow rocketeers! My name is Don Carter. I along with my business partner are starting a new business making solid propellant rocket motors. We have named our company CARBER ENERGETICS. Our motors will be released to the public sometime in late spring to mid-summer. At least that is our plan. We have decided on a propellant (yes, it's composite propellant!) and we think our motors will offer some exciting innovations. One of which will be integral igniters. There will be no motors with delays. All motors will be plugged. No "up-the-throat igniters." All igniters will be integral. They will be of course, single use motors. Yes, they will be safe to use and will be okayed by TRIPOLI or the NAR. No motors have been tested as yet. But, they will be soon. Our motors will range from K through O class. And we can make larger motors if you need a special order.
Motors will be constructed of filament wound fiberglass tubing, with a graphite nozzle. Solids loading will be high. We want you to be happy with our motors. We want you to give us a try. Most of all, we want you to take a look at our prices. We think you're going to be extremely satisfied with our pricing structure. I won't offer prices just yet. I'll wait till we have our motors ready for release. What I will tell you is that be ready! Be ready for great motors at great prices!
Before I go any further, we have hired a retired propellant chemist who worked for a large solid motor company. He consults for us and helps us with formulas and if we run into any snags. The man knows what he's doing. But, that's not all. My partner and I have many years of solid propellant experience behind us. We've been making solid motors since 1983. We owned a company from 1983 till 1995 when we shut things down. At that time, we were making "O" class motors. We mix our propellant under vacuum in a heated mixer. We cast under vacuum. We heat cure our propellant. Yes, we've spent a lot of money on our process. But we think you, our potential customers are worth the effort and the money it takes to do it right!
You'll be seeing more from me from time to time. We want you as our customers! All we ask is that you give us a try.
