Experimental
I have been experimenting with solid composite rocket motors since July of 2001, all motors are AP/HTPB based. Right now I am making many different propellants, most of which are mixed around 82% solids with the exception of a couple at a 78% solid loading.
I am currently using hardware made from Kosdon and Loki Research with the occasional single use motors made with PVC components.

Below are a few pictures after mixing
-Evacuating the propellant(low solids)
-Pumped propellant (low solids)
-Grain curing along with finshed grains
-M motor grain after casting
-Completed 10,000Ns M motor grains
