Classes
RCS Rocket Motor Components, Inc. is pleased to announce the RCS Institute of Experimental Rocket Technology (IERT) "Advanced Propellant Formulation and Processing Course". The course is taught by Gary C. Rosenfield, president of RCS, founder of AeroTech, Inc. and co-inventor of the reloadable hobby rocket motor. Gary will personally instruct course participants in the most important and relevant information concerning composite propellant formulation and manufacture that he's learned in over 30 years of experimental, hobby and military/industrial rocketry experience.

This is not the typical "make it-take it" EX course, nor is it a beginner's course. It is intended for the more experienced experimental rocket enthusiasts who want to raise their knowledge of propellant chemistry and manufacturing techniques to an entirely new level. A mixture of theoretical and practical instruction will be emphasized, and the information provided will have direct application to real-world experimental rocketry activities. The two-day seminar will be presented in both a lecture format at the course hotel and live demonstrations inside the RCS manufacturing facility. A complete and detailed tour of the facility will be included.

Participants must be at least 18 years of age, have read and understood Terry McCreary's book "Experimental Composite Propellant", be NAR or Tripoli level 2 or 3 certified (this requirement waived for military or government participants) and U.S citizens. 100% cotton clothing must be worn when working in the propellant processing rooms. Participants must not be affiliated with commercial hobby rocket propellant or hobby rocket motor manufacturing enterprises.

Course participants will have an exclusive opportunity to purchase engineering drawing packages for specialized mixing and casting tooling, propellant machining equipment and an adjustable motor static test stand fixture, as well as premixes for popular brand-name propellant formulations. Graduates of the course will qualify for a 15% discount on all RCS rocket motor components and chemicals.

Class size will be limited to three (3) to seven (7) participants each. You will be contacted with a confirmation of the date selected or offered an alternate date if the class is full. If less than three participants are registered for a particular class no later than three weeks prior to the class date, that class will be cancelled and any individuals who registered will be refunded their course fees or offered a subsequent class.

NOTE: If you are interested in having the course conducted at your location and/or on specific dates, email us at orders@rocketmotorparts.com or call (435) 867-9998.
