GATI E-30
The GATI E-30 solid rocket motor is a small-class propulsion unit developed for model rocketry, educational programs, and early-stage propulsion testing. Capable of producing a maximum thrust of 42 N and a total impulse of 30 Newton-seconds, the motor features a 1-second burn duration, making it suitable for quick-boost, low-altitude flights. With a 22 mm diameter, 125 mm motor length, and a total mass of 83 grams, including 30 grams of propellant, the GATI E-30 offers a lightweight and compact propulsion solution. The motor is ideal for student-built rockets, avionics testing, and subscale airframe validation.
