Sirius Rocketry has announced its first kit of 2009, the official 10th anniversary kit Interrogator G at the National Sport Launch 2009 over Memorial Day weekend in southern Wisconsin. WOOSH ran a great launch, and a top-notch national event! Several lucky folks won Sirius Rocketry kits, but the best surprise news was all about the brand-new Interrogator G kit that we brought to the launch. Our initial supply sold out by the end of the weekend. This kit is based on requests to make the Interrogator even larger, but also based on a new series of kits we wanted to produce. Kits that could take one from mid-power to high-power rocketry with the same kit. The Interrogator G can do just that. It is not only an Interrogator "G", but an Interrogator "F" and an Interrogator "H". A kit that can comfortably fly on standard as well as high-power motors with equal grace and style, while at the same time impressing everyone with that marvelous "not three-fins-and-a-nosecone look". More information on the Interrogator G can be found on its webpage and it can be ordered in the Online Store.   AeroTech Motors Now Available in the Online Store! We have had our Hazmat shipping set up for a while now, but it took a little while to get all the different AeroTech SKU's into the online store. The good news is that AeroTech motors are now available in the Online Store! Many of the motors can be shipped USPS Parcel Post, and for those that cannot, we can ship FedEx Hazmat.   Updated May 27, 2009 The National Sport Launch sponsored by WOOSH was a whole lot of fun! Kudos to the Wisconsin Organization Of Spacemodeling Hobbyists for putting on their fourth national event (three NARCONs previously) with the same flair and professionalism as the ones before. We had a great time, and it was great meeting old friends, and it was great to meet a lot of new faces! We had a chance to demo our new kit, and sold a few of them there as well to eager "early adopters". The new kit announced at NSL will be available here very shortly. Updated March 26, 2009 Bring out your Apollo-related rockets and fly them to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 during the Saturn Showcase/Apollo Commemorative Launch from 2pm-5pm Sunday, August 9th during the Sport Flying Weekend of NARAM-51 in Johnstown PA. Each Apollo/Saturn related flight during this event (brought to you by Sirius Rocketry) will be entered in a drawing for prizes including a $100.00 Sirius Rocketry shopping spree, a Refit USS Atlantis kit valued at $59.95, Sirius Rocketry Detail Decal Sheets and more! Your Apollo-Saturn related flight can be of any Saturn vehicle (I, IB, V), Apollo Spacecraft (LM, CM/SM), or Apollo test article (Such as the LES pad abort test flight or Apollo Little Joe II). Painted, unpainted, plastic model conversion, low power, high power models are all welcome as we celebrate the equipment that helped get us to the moon 40 years ago. Models must be flown between 2pm and 5pm on Sunday, and each flight receives one entry in the drawing. The more models you fly the more chances you get! We are working on adding even more prizes to make this event a fun one for all! Updated January 22, 2009 Going to be seeing this logo a bit this year. Believe it or not, Sirius Rocketry is celebrating its 10th year as an LLC company. The official company anniversary date is February 15, 2009. Although Sirius was a concept and a pending kit late in 1998, the company got "sirius" in early 1999 with a brand-new website, a great Saturn kit, and products from AeroTech, Vaughn Brothers Rocketry, Robby's Rockets, Rocket R&D and others. Some of these companies are not around anymore. And now here we are approaching the 10th anniversary with some new kits in the works this year, renewed alliances, and more! Been rather busy lately, and to you, I am thankful for you keeping us that way. You have helped us survive 10 years in an up-down economy. And because of your support, this new year is going to be better than any year before. We'll be announcing some special things and giveaways for the anniversary this year, and have a few other special things in store. On the tour schedule this year among other things we have planned is the NAR National Sport Launch, which is being held in our stomping ground this year, like several NARCON's that WOOSH hosted in the past. Plan on being there, and we'll have lots of stuff for you. NARAM 51 sport weekend is also on the agenda for this year, as well as several WOOSH launches and LARS launches. ----- AeroTech is back with us as well. Considering AeroTech was with us in the beginning, and that they have been instrumental in promoting composite-powered rocketry for a long time, I am happy to announce that AeroTech hobby line motors and reloads will be shipping soon from Sirius Rocketry and we are glad to have them back. Even better is the fact that we have all the permissions to ship the entire hobby line. Just about all of our kits have AT motors among the recommended motors, so those will be available, and we even have all the things together we need to do to be able to ship the HAZMAT hobby line motors. ----- Moldin' Oldies has shipped lots of cones and parts in the last six months. Now additional items will be coming to the store as well. I want to re-emphasize that the main focus of the Moldin' Oldies releases will be reproducing complicated/non-standard parts. Reason I mention this is that a lot of the cones/parts we have made have went real fast. Soon after that folks have been asking us if we would make more simple cones that have been availble in balsa from other manufacturers. The whole goal of Moldin' Oldies was to make available those cones that could not be easily reproduced, and not the cones that have been reproduced in balsa or other materials. To try and make any of the other cones would be rather anti-productive and especially cost prohibitive. Most of the cones we have been asked to make are available in balsa either via BMS or Semroc. Those that cannot be done so easily, those are the priority for us and those are the ones that we are offering first, and will be adding to in the future. In that light, the next cones to come to the store are the Scud nose cone, and the 1/100 capsule and escape tower available seperately from the Saturn V retrofit kit for all those that need a cone for a replacement on a Satrun 1B or to scratch a Little Joe. More are on the way as time permits. ----- Updated November 8, 2008 Our initial and long-awaited stock of Moldin' Oldies cones is now available at the Sirius Rocketry website, just in time for the winter "building season"! The initially-available cones include some of the most in-demand cones from the Moldin' Oldies inventory, including the Saturn capsule and fairing sets, which were some of Mike's very first castings. As many of the original molds were rather worn out, new Saturn molds were made, and several other molds are in the process of being re-made. More molds are being re-done as time permits, so please check back frequently as we will be adding cones to the site as we get the molds done and more cones made. Please note that because of Mike's agreement with the original kit makers and our willingness to honor that same agreement in taking over that we cannot name the specific kits these cones belong to, just the part numbers. However Scott Hansen's Ye Olde Rocket Shoppe has tons of resources for lovers of the old kits (including nose cone/kit lists) that can help you with matching nose cones with the kits they belonged to. It is a great resource, and there are also other member-experts that can help you at Scott's Ye Olde Rocket Forum, another resource I highly recommend! A post on the forum will find lots of people willing to help you. Note also that these cones are reproduced for private, personal use in "cloning" your favorite old and unavailable kits, but are not to be used in any commercial kits. More cones will be added to the site as they are molded, and the total selection will expand with time. Please keep in mind that each cone takes about 15-20 minutes to make and as such is priced accordingly. Casting resin, being a petro-based product has also increased exponentially the last year. Also, making new molds is expensive, and that cost has to be spread over the amount of cones that can be produced from that mold before it wears out. Thus, if you can also order some other products while you order your cone, that helps immensely! Updated August 26, 2008 Thank you for making this year even better than the last. In 2008, we will see the 10th anniversary of Sirius Rocketry as a concept/company, and in late 2008-2009, we will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the company as the official Sirius Rocketry, LLC. I ask that you join the crowd, and spread the word about Sirius Rocketry when you can, wherever you can. We have several new products planned for this fall, and also have taken over the Moldin' Oldies product line, which will slowly become available in our online store, a little later than planned, mainly because many of the molds have had to be redone, and also because some of our kits have sold much better than anticipated, and mucho time has been spent in re-stocking them, which takes time from everything else....
