Over 25 years ago, Cesaroni Aerospace Inc. developed a line of high-power rocket motors featuring a simple, reloadable cartridge design. Since then, the system has evolved to include motor case diameters ranging from 24mm to 150mm, along with a variety of propellant formulations for performance tuning and visual effects. As CAI’s expertise in propulsion system design grew, the company expanded into custom rocket motor solutions for government, military, and commercial organizations. From missile and high-speed test track boosters to single-stage sub-orbital and upper-stage space motors, CAI delivers high-performance propulsion systems to customers worldwide.
