Our new High-Power Rocketry Website
Sigma Rockets High Power Rocketry Website
Thus we have decided to create a new separate website for our high power rocketry customers. You may find this website located here: www.sigmarockets.ca/highpower.
High Power or Model
The run up to the moon landings were certainly an exciting time for space travel and rocketry. In the late 1950s the hobby of model rocketry was born out of the need to provide safe rocket motors to a general public eager to produce budding rocket scientists.
Those that grew up with rocketry would discover in the late 1980s the rise of high power rocketry where motors sizes increased significantly. Similar to model rockets, high powered rocketry offered greater size rockets and larger payloads.
Initially high powered rockets were brought down to Earth using the same ejection charge following thrust and delay method but would soon incorporate timers, altimeters and other systems to recreate the flight of a model rocket but in a much bigger size. The complexity, plus the risk in launching much bigger rockets, resulted in the creation of new types of rocket clubs such as Tripoli.
What can be found on the new website?
We have combined articles geared specifically towards high power fliers and an eCommerce store for high power rocketry motors. For high power rocketry accessories and rockets we are currently still offering them on our main eCommerce website located here: www.sigmarockets.ca.
We will change this in the future so that everything associated with high power rocketry may be found on the new site.
New product layout
Most high power rocketry fliers know what products they’re looking for, and to facilitate this the items on the new site are laid out in table formats. Motors are sorted from smallest to biggest and in the case of Cesaroni motors, broken down into subsections based on diameter size.
What will become of the existing websites?
Our move to a separate high power website will allow us to serve non high power customers better through our main eCommerce website and the Articles website where you are reading this article from. Articles that pertain to rocketry and aerospace in general will still be hosted on this website.
