bluShift Aerospace completed a successful engine test of their hybrid rocket engine on May 3rd, 2023 at 6:54pm EDT. View the live stream of this test here: https://youtube.com/live/JjDEt0cx73A
High-resolution footage from four camera angles of the 6th full-throttle test of bluShift's full-scale Modular Adaptable Rocket Engine for Vehicle Launch (MAREVL™ 2.0, Rev. B), a novel hybrid rocket engine that burns non-toxic, carbon-neutral, bio-derived solid fuel. This engine will power bluShift's suborbital vehicle Starless Rogue, sending payloads into space for 5-8 minutes of zero gravity.
This burn lasted ~10 seconds and produced 21,500 lbs of peak thrust! Future full-length burns will last 60 seconds.
