# HPR Suppliers

These are smaller, primarily-online retailers who sell components for low-, mid- and high-power rocketry. Parts that exceed the bounds of hobby rocketry will have to be sourced separately.

## Suppliers List

* [Bay Area Rocketry](http://bayarearocketry.com/)
  * Buy motors here. BAR is an on-site supplier at almost every NorCal launch.
  * Call beforehand to make sure your item is actually in stock (do not trust website), then order online for pickup at launch. 
    * Increase your chances of getting your order by picking it up before launch, and ordering two weeks in advance.
  * Carries almost exclusively Aerotech motors.
  * Also carries motor hardware (casings, closures), although stock may be limited for closures and seal discs.
* [Animal Motor Works](http://cart.amwprox.com/)
  * The on-site motor supplier for IREC. Sometimes comes up to TCC, but rarely as they are based in Arizona. Can order online, but careful with shipping fees.
  * Carries almost exclusively Cesaroni motors, although can source large Aerotech orders given enough lead time.
* [Apogee Components](https://www.apogeerockets.com/)
  * Like a Walmart of rocketry. They’ve got pretty much anything you need!
  * Nice rail buttons.
* [Always Ready Rocketry](https://alwaysreadyrocketry.com/)
  * Original manufacturer of Blue Tube and potentially the cheapest source.
  * Offers custom cuts/slots in tubes (usually for fins).
* [Madcow Rocketry](https://www.madcowrocketry.com/)
  * Our best (only) source for fiberglass tubes and filament-wound nosecones.
  * Also sells quality fiberglass kits, albiet at a premium.
* [Public Missiles Ltd.](https://publicmissiles.com/)
  * Their website sucks (seriously, was it built in the 50’s?).
  * We primarily buy: phenolic motor mounts, fiberglass nose cones
  * Also sell custom fiberglass fins (email for quote) and quite a bit more.
  * 10% Discount Code: Email them, they give universities a discount
* [Fruity Chutes](https://fruitychutes.com/)
  * High quality parachutes (will pack lighter and smaller), but pricey.
  * 15% Discount Code: BERKELEY-WS-2017-15
* [Rocketman Parachutes](https://the-rocketman.com/chutes-html/)
  * Less-expensive parachutes, but with lower Cd and fewer shroud lines
  * Good option for L1/L2 projects where personal costs incurred are a factor
* [Giant Leap Rocketry](https://giantleaprocketry.com/)
  * Great source for Kevlar shock cord and flame protectors.
  * Also sells a variety of other recovery components and hardware.
* [MJG Technologies, Inc.](https://electricmatch.com/)
  * These are the same electric matches available from BAR, but without the markup. Used for recovery.
* [Missile Works Corporation](https://www.missileworks.com/)
  * Altimeters and GPS trackers for recovery/flight events, original manufacturer.
* [PerfectFlite](http://www.perfectflitedirect.com/)
  * Altimeters and flight electronics, original manufacturer. More info on products at <http://www.perfectflite.com/>, separate from the online store.
* Non-Rocketry suppliers:
  * Common hardware items like quick-links, swivels, and screws can often be found for cheaper at <https://www.mcmaster.com/> or <https://www.amazon.com/>--don't pay more if you can find them for less!
