Development of 5kN thrust rocket motor

The last time we posted here was about a ignition test. Since then, we’ve been fully focused on developing a real rocket engine, designed to push 5KN of thrust. Before moving to physical testing, a significant part of the development process focused on fluid simulations. Through these simulations, we determined the appropriate pipe diameters and […]

Ignition Tests

Ignition Tests March 10, 2025 After successfully testing our injector, we decided to move on to ignition trials. Igniting isopropyl alcohol without a nozzle proved trivial, so after a few upgrades, we tested the system with its designated fuel and oxidizer, methanol and hydrogen peroxide. However, we initially overlooked the role of atmospheric oxygen, leading […]
