Overview

This was the team's first P motor. It was designed to be around a P9000? but a currently unknown effect led to a much shorter burn time and higher than expected thrust. Current theories for the burnrate-increasing effect include erosivity, or more complete aluminum combustion leading to much higher temperatures. The second theory is supported by the slight bulge in the case as well as higher residency time of half of the aluminum particles.
