Spin-casting thermal liners was tricky to get right, but it’s cheaper and more flexible than brittle phenolic liners in the long run. Full spin-casting video: youtu.be/XN9ZX5WSu0U?si… #Rocket #Engineering
Making a pourable propellant: from Playdough to a delicious sludge, pour-ability was one of the main goals when developing the Risky Batman formula. #Rockets #Aerospace #RocketMotor
Large solid rocket motors are surprisingly hard to light. They need ignition systems that can deliver lots of heat and pressure quickly, and head-end ignition solves that.
Still can't believe this thing worked. Big shout out to @Erdayastronaut and @considercosmos for letting me borrow some fancy cameras for this - there's a LOT of beautiful footage thanks to them 🚀
Reminder to kiss your motors goodnight 🚀💤 #Rocket #Aerospace
Does anyone know a good ear doctor? Everything's been really muffled the last few days
Worked great! BPS motor development campaign is DONE - we’re goin to space 🚀✨
All set up! Place your bets on if it works below 🔥
Static firing this massive rocket motor at FAR on Sunday morning. I’ll be livestreaming on Patreon (link in bio) and a polished video will make it to YouTube eventually, but there’s a non-zero chance this thing turns into a billion pieces so it might be worth tuning in live🔥🚀
