It’s true! We lit KegRocket’s engine for the first time today, and the rocket performed great. It’s been a long road to get here!

Chamber pressure came in about 40 psi low but we should be able to fix that easily.

@rbalephoto @joebarnard Hell yeah!!! Congrats!!!

@rbalephoto @joebarnard Thank you!!

@joebarnard Amazing milestone. Congratulations! That was a seriously Hot Nozzle.

@eccorca @joebarnard Idk why I’m just now finding this. Holy crap this is so cool

@joebarnard Why the noticeable change in the exhaust through the first few seconds? Congrats on a successful firing

@joebarnard Possibly the rest of the igniter burning off, or the liner charring up

@joebarnard The frost makes it so much more “legit” 🚀

@joebarnard been waiting years for this one

@BreakingTaps @joebarnard Hey supersonic exhaust and everything! Better static demo than the majority of upcoming aerospace companies 🤝
