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.

Last week, our BE-7 team conducted another successful Thrust Chamber Assembly (TCA) test at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Test Stand 116. Our tests on an upgraded TCA bring our cumulative test time to more than 4000 seconds, and we are on track in our engine development path.

We’re putting our new vertical stage 1 engine test stand through its paces out in Moses Lake... pushing liquid nitrogen through, testing the systems, and getting ready to light it up. 🔥

Roscosmos shows full-duration static fire of the RD-0124MS engine for the second stage of Soyuz-5/Sunkar rocket. The first flight-worthy RD-0124MS engine was delivered and installed on the second stage last year. With that, the engine is now ready for flight tests.

How to Seal the Deal in Rocket Engineering 🚀 Before our Kalam-1200 rocket stage can unleash its full, fiery thrust, it starts off sealed shut. This special cap — called a nozzle closure — locks in the gases to build just the right chamber pressure to initiate uniform and stable combustion. Then, in a split-second precision, it’s blasted away, clearing the path for the booster to roar to life. 🔥 Watch the breathtaking moment of closure ejection in 1500 fps and see how our team sealed the deal to fire India's largest private rocket stage!

Like seriously, making a completely unique second stage engine wasn't enough for them. They also had to make a full flow staged combustion cycle engine for the first stage.
