Therapeutic copper injector milling🎻

Finished post machining both injectors. Next up, water flow tests, integration, and hot fire

First successful test of a super cool project for a super cool company that I’ll talk about more in the near future…

Hot fire alert: Our team is traveling out to west Texas next week to attempt to fire our sub scale 1000 lbf liquid oxygen-liquid kerosene rocket engine TARS-1🔥

TARS injector water flow. Huge thanks to LΛUNCHER for sponsoring these injectors and 3D printing them out of copper alloy, excited for the hot fire next week!

Heading out to the test site

LOX cold flow complete. Moving to hot fire operations🔥

Update: During multiple hot fire attempts we ran out of both time and daylight so after a third and final attempt, all systems worked together, but a faulty igniter lead to ignition failure. Amazing effort from the team, lots of data collected and more testing to come later🔥

Final regen igniter firing of the semester at Zucrow Labs. Clean 11 second duration stress test, draining the RP-1 tank to depletion.

Compilation of the various tests our smaller development test stand has seen over the past year🔥

2024, year of the turbopump

Fuel turbopump loading…

Now there’s two of them?? The design of our dual shaft kerosene-LOX turbopump is nearing completion with some components even beginning to be manufactured🚀

The turbine is what provides the power to turbopumps and is essential to their operation. This is the turbine for the fuel half of our dual shaft turbopump assembly.

Fuel pump shaft assembly built as more parts continue to roll in for the fuel turbopump.
