Mongoose 38

The Mongoose 38 is part of the new line of Mongoose Kits produced by Performance Rocketry. This is the first of several size offerings to be produced in sequence as part of a limited edition ultra high performance kit. These kits offer the highest end available composite parts on the market. We will explain the level of precision and quality of each of the parts in this document.

1. Aluminum Conical Screw on Tip

2. Graphite High Temp Composite 5:1 Conical Nosecone

3. 10-32 Threaded Steel Stud

The nosecone offered in the Mongoose kits is a Pro Line Nosecone, these cones offer the finest qualty available on the market. The exterior has a high temp 500F graphite finish with a screw on aluminum tip.

Fin material is manufactured using uni-directional carbon fiber prepreg in a quasi-isotropic layup and capped on either side with a cosmetic plain weave prepreg layer. The manufacturing process uses a 300 ton down acting heated press, the only way high quality high precision plate is manufactured.

Filament wound Carbon Fiber tubing is manufactured in house using propriority band patterns and wound using multiple wind angles. Using different wind angles in stacked layers offers a substancial increase in overall strength specifically for the use of rocketry. Tubes are manufactured with a high temp toughened epoxy resin and cured and post cured in our oven for a max operating temp of 500F. We use a High Modulus Carbon Fiber Tow (T1000G) the higest tensile strength carbon fiber available. T1000G was designed specifically for aerospace aplications. To offer a precise smooth finish we use a centerless grinder.
