E-2 Thrust Vector Control testing is underway! This test includes frequency sweeps starting at a maximum gimbal angle of ±7 degrees, using hardware from a previous engine revision. After completing additional testing on the component stand, the actuator will be deployed to the test site for its first gimballed... show more

@FMJ_Grif Інколи здається, що всі двигуни всіх стартапів Землі робляться або з 11Д513, або з РД861К. Хоча ні, не здається.

What kind of actuator is that?

Ed Silha5 months ago

I’d be curious to see that actuator perform under load…

The hinge and actuator are much smaller than expected for something generating so much force.

Looks like you need a more rigid test stand

Why would I buy your engine, instead of a SpaceX engine?

Impressive TVC precision. Rigorous frequency sweeps demand stable policy frameworks. The UAE offers exactly this environment for aerospace professionals.

I’m not an engineer but there seems to be too much play in the actuator. My steering wheel has tighter tolerances

Hardware across the vehicle continues to advance through test. 📍 Long Beach, CA The first stage downcomer completed its full acceptance test campaign. This flight-critical component, which routes liquid oxygen from the tank to the engines, is now cleared for integration. 📍 NASA Stennis, MS Stage 2 is back in the hangar after completing cryoproof and COPV proof testing. Post-test inspections are underway ahead of Aeon V installation. A2 is being prepped for hot fire, with LOX farm flushes and heat exchanger activations. On the R stand, acceptance testing of flight 2 Aeon R engines is underway.

🔥 Just another day at Stennis. Stage 2 successfully completed its first integrated hotfire! The A2 test stand was originally built in the 60s to support Saturn V Upper Stage testing (S-II). It was later reconfigured to be a single engine test stand for Shuttle Main Engine testing and development. The last Saturn V Stage test occurred October 30, 1970 on A2. It has been 55 years, 11 months, and 17 days since A2 supported stage testing capability. As of this morning, it is now 0 days.

The team continues to rack up test time as another E-2 Block 1 mission duty cycle, featuring continuous rapid gimbaling, is now in the books. As the E-2 program approaches 10,000 seconds of cumulative run time, testing continues to characterize engine life and further improve reliability. Up next the team plans to increase gimbal rates, conduct frequency sweeps, and test an alternative fuel aimed at increasing performance while reducing cost.

SpaceX is working on returning Pad 1 to a Ship test configuration to allow Ship 37 to return for additional testing—the result of an engine swap-out—which requires either another Static Fire or a Spin Prime test to set the stage for Starship Flight 10.

A louder rumble in Rocket City! We just completed our first BE-4 engine hotfire test at the historic Test Stand 4670 in Huntsville. We also continue to test BE-4 engines at our Texas facility. The BE-4 engine produces 550,000 pounds of thrust and is our most powerful engine yet.

This month, we celebrated our 200th day of hot fire testing on the Mobile Test Stand (MTS)—a huge milestone on our journey to provide orbital and surface delivery services! Christened in March 2019, the MTS includes the avionics and propulsion systems required to perform development testing and performance verification of our main engine, motor valves, and avionics systems. The series of tests executed on our 200th test day advanced our performance, cooling, and stability objectives for the IM-3 main engine injector.

Ship 40 has performed its first Static Fire test in preparation for the lucky Flight 13. This appears to have been a single engine test, but came after a hold of nearly 20 minutes. Assuming they were intentionally allowing the propellant to warm up. This may have been the first realistic simulation of an in-space relight burn that SpaceX has ever conducted during ground testing. 🎥: Avid Space
