To characterize our BPM100 injector, we needed to go bigger than any other homemade project has gone before. The Spica rocket engine will burn through 50 liters of propellants each second. To simulate that on Read more…
After increasing the hole diameter of our swirl injectors, we need to confirm how that changes their mass flow. Jeppe guides you through how to do just that.
After numerous leak tests and sealing tape applications, Adrian finally gets to see his reaction control system work.
Our intern Adrian walks us through his power supply electronics for his RCS thruster test setup.
In an attempt to mitigate the spin we saw with our last manned Ballute jump, we made and tested a small-scale design, which is sown from two sections – top and bottom, rather than single Read more…
A quick update on how we modify our swirl injectors to test how larger propellant holes influence their output.
Dear Rocket Friends, After a bit of getting ready we are now in the process of measuring how our nice little swirlers are performing. As you may remember, we got them milled at PH Spaanteknik Read more…
This is a follow up video to our June 29th Spica space capsule ballute and parachute system tests. Here we talk about the data we got from those jumps. If you haven’t seen the first Read more…
Dear rocket friends A few weeks ago we went on a field trip to Odense Skydiving Center for yet another parachute test. This time we tested the first Spica space capsule ballute and a minor Read more…
Our intern Adrian guides you through his project of a Reaction Control System for our crewed Spica space capsule. This system will enable our spacecraft to orient and stabilize itself in the vacuum of space.
