While India sleeps, at 3 AM, EtherealX strikes 🔥 EtherealX is developing a new rocket engine cycle (Full Flow Segregated Cooling Cycle - FFCC) specifically designed around the requirements of full rocket reusability, something the company says is a first-of-its-kind approach in rocketry. A few CRAZY things they announced: > 80 launches/year with just 4 rockets: targeting ~20 launches per rocket annually. > Designing the engine around full reusability, not bolting reusability onto an existing architecture. > Claiming >99% efficiency 🤯 while aiming for mass-producible, lower-complexity engines. > They claim RP-1 offers 3–4× higher heat-sink capability than cryogenic fuels, helping with thermal management. > Targeting 100 bar chamber pressure with a simpler engine architecture instead of ultra-complex staged-combustion designs. > Instead of betting everything on one untested cycle, they're developing an entire family of engine cycles and letting testing determine the winner.
