With rocket engines, boring is good. To that end, please enjoy this 1,030-second (17+ min!) BE-7 engine burn. This test represents the Apogee Raise Maneuver or ARM burn for our Blue Moon Mark 1 Lunar lander, plus margin, the longest burn required by the mission to reach the Moon.... show more

Blue's west Texas test cell, semi-latest left, semi-older right.

The microphones:

Need to increase New Glenn launch tempo, by a lot. A lot

Nice farts at the start

how do they test in vacuum conditions? it seems like those exhaust gasses would turn a vacuum chamber into a high pressure chamber in less than a second

I want to see the watch time analytics for this lol

The "no nozzle" part is key science! 🚀 A large rocket nozzle optimized for the vacuum of space is very inefficient at sea level. The high air pressure would cause the exhaust plume to detach from the nozzle wall (flow separation), creating instability.

I want to know why the concrete didn’t start spalling off with 17 minutes of heat.

To the Moon!

Could’ve at least toasted a few marshmallows.

Looks like the patch needs an update...

How anyone can look at something like this and still choose not to build liquid rocket engines is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma

Great news! Good to know you're on track for Mk 1.

"Flanges are bad" Elon Musk Can't wait to see this land on the Moon Godspeed From Titusville.

While we are at it

@blueorigin Meanwhile the temperature in the next town, over 10 miles away was raised by 100 degrees for a short period. No vinyl siding is left on one side of every house! 🔥🥵🇺🇸🚀

@asherbphotos that's a lot of seconds

Did you have to provide additional heat from something like a heat exchanger to run the cycle? Or was one of the fluids (oxygen I assume?) pressure fed?

That looks super complicated compared to the latest SpaceX engines….?

BE-7 is my favorite blue engine. Higher theoretical thermal efficiency than FFSC (though not scalable).

17 minute burn? Incredible.

Can you please share where the yellow color at tail end of flame coming from, impurities in air?

these 17 minutes seem boring here on earth but every second of them will matter when it’s in the lunar orbit

Nice job.

Sounds like your explosive front is traveling or possibly osillating mechanism. Lox micro expansion causing micro variations in the feed rate at system phenomena feedback in burn audio? Probably loud enough if you were physically there you might feel the oscillating.. jmoh

WOW 😍😍😍

17-minute BE-7 burn: “boring” but crucial. Every second of thrust brings us closer to the Moon! #BlueMoonLander #BE7Engine #MoonMission

Sweet!

What’s the difference between an ARM and a TLI burn?

Very good. More New Glenn. Faster New Glenn.

C’est impressionnant 🫡

Love it post more
