(ROL Newswire) --  CP Technologies has expanded their 3 day class to 4
days for the summer months of June and August. The class costs $195 and
includes the "How To Make Amateur Rockets" 2nd Edition bookset, all
motor/propellant materials, lunches and a video of each student testing
their rocket motor. A $30 discount is given to students who already own
the 2nd Edition bookset. Students do not have to be US citizens and do
not have to be members of any rocketry organization to enroll in the
class.

As students learn how to design a composite solid rocket motor, the
instructor assigns each student a maximum peak chamber pressure and
pressure-time curve goal. The students design a rocket motor to meet
that goal. They mix and cast the propellant as well as make the motor
parts. The motors are static fired on the last day of the class at
Wickman Spacecraft & Propulsion Company facilities.

People interested in the class should sign up as soon as possible as
class size is restricted to seven students. More information on the
class can be found at www.space-rockets.com/ae101
