First fire! 🔥 We have successfully kicked off the hot fire campaign for our first stage at SaxaVord Spaceport UK. We hot-fired a total of four Helix engines, igniting one by one at four second intervals. All engines ran simultaneously for 8 seconds with a total hot-fire duration of...

@SaxaVord_Space Great news that this hot-fire test of the Helix engines went well. The detail provided in this post and the numerous camera angles shown in the video are much appreciated. Thanks for all your transparency and wishing you all the best with the next steps in preparation for launch.

@SaxaVord_Space We want to be as transparent as possible and allow people to participate in our journey. And the footage is just too good not to share with like-minded space nerds 🚀

@SaxaVord_Space Amazing stuff! Congratulations on a first successful test! You'll have plenty of us dissecting that footage for days to come. Any word on if that arm is a crane or support mechanism of some kind?

@SaxaVord_Space It is a crane for lifting loads onto the launch stool. We didn't want to ask the team to carry all the things up the stairs 😉

We just keep going! RFA ONE's first stage arrived safely in SaxaVord and has been lifted onto the launch pad. The RFA UK team is currently working hard to prepare it for our first hot fire campaign. Who's as excited as we are? 🙋‍♂️

Another Mission Duty Cycle in the books! We fired our Miranda engine at full power for 206 seconds - the full duration our 7 first stage engines will burn to lift Eclipse off the launch pad and on its way to orbit. More to come as our hot fire summer continues!

We're coming in hot (fire) with an update on our third stage: We have completed a full duration hot fire of the fully integrated Redshift OTV, qualifying it for flight. As always, our approach for this hot fire was to get as close to the real thing as possible. So it included a nearly 600s (10 minutes!) burn after an assumed stage separation, followed by a 40 minute coasting phase simulation, and a 30s orbit circularization burn. Welcome to LEO! The team will now prepare the fully qualified Redshift OTV for its shipment to SaxaVord, where it will be integrated with the payloads for the first test flight later this year. Enjoy the video with a look behind the scenes ⬇️

Humbled to share that we successfully test fired 4 semi-cryogenic rocket engines simultaneously, as a cluster. All the 4 engines are 3d printed as single pieces of hardware - designed and manufactured in-house at AgniKul Cosmos Rocket Factory - 1. As with all our propulsion systems, these 4 engines are also powered by electric motor driven pumps. This test involved calibrating 8 pumps, 8 motors and tuning 8 speed control algorithms to work together in perfect sync to achieve uniform startup, steady state and shutdown performance across the entire system. As with the last cluster test, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such a test has been performed in India with semi cryogenic engines. We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be building world class, original space technology from India, for the world with the support of IIT Madras ISRO and IN-SPACe From here on, the addition of engines to our clusters will likely increase non-linearly. #Agnibaan #RocketEngineCluster #ElectricPumpFedEngines #Agnilet #SinglePieceEngine #3dprinting #RocketEngineTest #AdditiveManufacturing #Agnikul #AgnikulCosmos #StartupIndia #MakeinIndia #madeinIndiaForTheWorld Srinath Ravichandran MOIN SPM Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy IIT Madras IITMRP IIT Madras Incubation Cell Technology Development Board DSTIndia Anusandhan National Research Foundation TIDCO Startup India StartupTN Guidance Tamil Nadu Kerala Startup Mission SIPCOT

With all 13 Aeon R engines installed on the thrust structure and stage two heading towards hot fire, August was a big month for Terran R. 🔩 Build: All 13 Aeon R engines were installed onto the thrust structure. Stage one integration is advancing and both interstage barrels were stacked. Flight two barrels are complete and flight three production has begun. 🧪 Test: Stage two completed cryoproof and COPV proof testing and is now being readied for Aeon V engine installation ahead of hot fire. 🏗️ Launch: Flame diverter installation is underway at the pad, the engineering support building opened, and HIF outfitting continues.

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.

Fired up our first Aeon R engine hot fires this week. Sound on. 🎯 10 seconds of fire. ✔️ Validated component harmony during start up, at target power (70%), and shutdown. 🏅️ Strong start to test campaign. Initial hardware inspections look healthy. 🔜 Longer duration. More power. More blue fire. 📍Stennis Space Center R Complex, new dual-bay vertical engine test stand

Armenia's PM Pashinyan on territorial claims: We should not look for Armenia not only in Azerbaijan, but also in Türkiye. We should not look for Armenia in Iran. We should not look for Armenia in Georgia, for two main rational reasons. First, when we look for Armenia outside the Republic of Armenia, we lose sight of and neglect the Republic of Armenia itself—its needs and interests, and our responsibility and obligation to care for it. And second, no less importantly, when we search for our homeland within the internationally recognized territories of our four neighbors, we open the door for them to search for their homeland within the internationally recognized territory of the Republic of Armenia. And it turns out that we are searching in four places, while the four of them are searching in one place—in our country, in our state, in our homeland. And we find ourselves in a one-against-four position.

This is how we build Europe's most reliable rocket: MIURA 5 🚀 At our state-of-the-art facility, we manufacture all metallic structures of our launch vehicle and its TEPREL-C family engines (including combustion chambers and turbopumps). Where we combine proven industry technologies with years of heritage and cutting-edge processes like metal additive manufacturing and laser welding. Robust end-to-end process management, with quality control integrated into each step, ensures that all engineering models reach our test benches in Teruel exactly as designed. There, we test and use the results to rapidly iterate and improve manufacturing until every subsystem is qualified. This approach gives us the agility and flexibility to move confidently toward the first MIURA 5 test flight at CSG (CNES/ESA) in Kourou, French Guiana, delivering on our promise of reliability and performance.

E-2’s first 90-second test fire was a success! It performed at 55% power with a low conservative 1.6 mixture ratio as planned. The hardware appears in perfect condition ready for more tests. This is an exceptional result for a first test article (E-2 SN1). The test was also a key milestone for our US Space Force TACFI contract. We’ve wrapped up this test campaign and will be back in January with an updated injector featuring lower LOX passage pressure drop to allow us to increase the LOX mass flow and in turn reach full thrust and high performance O/F mixture ratio of 2.62. We thank our team and partners for making this possible - especially Stennis Space Center and their team. We would also like to thank the @SpaceForceDoD for their TACFI contract support.
