You probably know GITAI for space robotics. Now we build solid rocket motors too. GITAI is expanding its vertically integrated capabilities to support defense-focused LEO satellite constellations, including applications for missile defense. As part of that effort, our propulsion team is developing and hot-fire testing solid rocket motors in-house,...

The more companies, engineers and tech you put into the space age, the sturdier the economy that opens up. Iteration is how you correct and learn. That path works. And it teaches.

Rapid build test learn is such a great approach. A much better approach vs review and analyze ad nauseam in hopes of one shotting a build. There's important learning that comes from build and test, and the quicker you can realize that it greatly helps the development.

Here is one of our experimental 3D printed Hadfield liquid rocket engines going through some thrust vector control (TVC) profiles! As we scale to our first light-lift orbital launch vehicle, Tundra, and then our medium-lift reusable launch vehicle, Titan, precise control of the rocket at every phase of flight is critical to mission success. Guiding a rocket to orbit, and eventually back to Earth, demands close coordination across every sub-team. Some of the key challenges we’re tackling: ➡️ Reliable & repeatable TVC actuation: ensuring the engine gimbal responds consistently across every test and flight ➡️ High-frequency control loops: real-time systems that keep the vehicle stable from liftoff to orbital insertion ➡️ Propellant sloshing: accounting for the movement of fluids in tanks and its effect on vehicle dynamics ➡️ Wind shear compensation: countering atmospheric disturbances during ascent ➡️ Structural bending & flex modes: managing how the vehicle’s primary structure responds to aerodynamic and thrust loads ➡️ Precision payload delivery: hitting the exact target orbit, every time Our team at NordSpace has been advancing our propulsion systems on many fronts, as we work to unveil our orbital-scale, pump-fed Hadfield and Garneau rocket engines in the near future — the engines that will carry Canada to orbit for the first time, and unlock sovereign access to space. Check out some of our rocket hardware, meet our engineers, join over 400 attendees and over 40 speakers at the Canadian Space Launch Conference, taking place this May 5th in Ottawa.

After years of development, testing and refinement, we are printing one of our last Hadfield-10 rocket engines, a bittersweet moment 🫡 More of our team is transitioning toward getting our much larger orbital-class Hadfield-100 engine ready for the test stand, and getting Canada to orbit for the first time with our Tundra rocket. The pressure-fed Hadfield-10 series has been the backbone of NordSpace's propulsion program since our earliest days. It's the engine that proved we could design, manufacture, test and fly liquid rocket engines from scratch, entirely in-house, at the pace necessary to reach orbit. It powered our first successful hot-fire tests, survived our most demanding qualification campaigns, and gave our team the hard-won knowledge that no textbook or simulation could provide. It also powers our Taiga sub-orbital vehicle, which is taking flight in a few weeks. Every experimental lesson learned in its development from combustion stability, regenerative cooling, additive manufacturing, and test operations lives on in what comes next. That knowledge now flows directly into our turbopump fed Hadfield-100 engine, the most powerful rocket engine in Canadian history. Designed to power our orbital Tundra rocket to deliver 500+ kg to LEO and scaling further to 1,100 kg LEO in the Tundra+ configuration. Architected from day one to grow to the thrust levels required for our reusable Titan medium-lift vehicle targeting 5,000+ kg to LEO while striking the right balance between performance, scalability, heritage, and speed of development to meet the Government of Canada's targets. The Hadfield-10's design will also form the foundation of our SHARP Sabre hypersonic rocket's M2S-HyRock engine. The full shift to the Hadfield-100 is a major milestone for us, and it's not just about more powerful engines. The infrastructure we're developing from moving to a much larger facility, acquiring much larger metal 3D printers, developing new test cells, and pursuing rigorous standards all feed in to this next phase of growth for our program. To everyone on the NordSpace team who designed, printed, tested, and refined these engines across so many late nights, early mornings and weekends, thank you. This chapter made everything that follows possible, and the next one starts now.
