Our automated rocket engine welder had its first integrated run with the automatic wire feeder and the results look promising! 🚀

Scott is wrestling his own software into compliance now, and then it's down to fine-tuning all of the parameters for production.

Lots of work going on to get our test infrastructure ready for the BPM-25 rocket engine static fire! 🚀

✅Making pressure sensors for the water flow test stand.
✅Machining Teflon spacers for propellant tank fluid level sensors.
✅Machining filters for propellant tanks & more!

To make our BPM-25 rocket engine welds reliable and repeatable, our DIY CNC welder has to be finely tuned to balance the rotation speed of the engine, the horizontal position of the TIG torch, its power and wire feed rate.

We are pleased with the first integrated tests, though!

Work on the piping for the Spica rocket engine test stand is progressing well. The test stand's tanks are actually temporarily repurposed from Spica I, meaning they will have undergone numerous burn sequences before the actual flight 🚀
