TIVRA K-560

The TIVRA K-560 solid rocket motor is engineered for precision-controlled propulsion in experimental and educational aerospace applications. Producing a maximum thrust of 1030 N and a total impulse of 1960 Newton-seconds, the motor features a 3.5-second burn duration, enabling smoother acceleration and sustained thrust delivery. With a 94 mm diameter, 313 mm motor length, and a total mass of 3.71 kg including 1.8 kg of propellant, the TIVRA K-560 offers an excellent balance between compact form factor and performance. The motor is well-suited for sounding rockets, subscale launch vehicle demonstrations, and propulsion system testing.
