UCSD testing their Nephas motor injector on their Colossus test rig had an anomaly yesterday in the LOX main valve resulting in a rig RUD. Surprisingly the damage is minimal and Colossus (built like a tank) and Nephas will be back soon. Lots of learning!

That is a lot of orange smoke, was there nitrogen combustion happening?

This is a lox/lng setup that is nitrogen pressed. The lng side was not breached but did exhaust through the nozzle and venting. The lox side immediately ignited at the main valve opening up 100% of the lox. Root cause is unknown, but could be particle impact ignition, failed valve, or ? Lots of nitrogen followed the lox but would take a lot to combust it.
