DESIGN
DESIGN
We design our engines from the ground up. We start from research, preliminary design, and iterations.
BUILD
BUILD
We are a hands on hardware/software team. We build our test stand, fluids system, PCBs, and GUI.
TEST/FIRE
TEST/FIRE
We test all of our subsystems, cold flow the engine, and then we do the final test... HOT FIRE!
