Motor is not fully decomposing H2O2 (lots of drips and steam)
Rocket Motor Test Video (test 7)
Corrected motor -- notice how it now has clear exhaust once it heats up
Thrust, Tank Pressure, and Throttle Valve Pressure vs. Time (Test 7)
Thrust oscillation starts if the tank pressure approches the pressure at the exit of the throttle valve.
Thrust is smooth as long as the tank pressure is about 0.50 MPa greater than the pressure at the throttle valve.
Rough ProE model of vehicle (currently under construction)
Here's a very crusty video (MPEG-2) made from the simulator. What you see is the rocket's real control system flying a simulated vehicle between two pads 50m apart.
Here's a screenshot of the ground operator's control panel.
The tank hemispheres have arrived.
Our FAA permit application has been declared "complete enough". That's great news!
We're thankful to have had Unreasonable's permit applications to look at while preparing our own.
In the same spirit of openness, here's ours.
The MSU and PSU electronics and enclosure are complete.
More of Josh and George's handy work. These are almost all of the bits that will form the vehicle.
