bluShift Aerospace tested their full-scale Modular Adaptable Rocket Engine for Vehicle Launch (MAREVL 2.0), a novel hybrid rocket engine that burns non-toxic, carbon-neutral, bio-derived solid fuel, for the first time.
The purpose of this test was to achieve ignition and stable flow throughout the engine, and to gather some initial combustion stability and performance data. The test was all-nominal, and flow stability was excellent.
In this first test the engine fired at partial power for five seconds. Future tests will feature full-power, full-duration burns of approximately 90 seconds.
This test marks the culmination of 8 years of R&D, over two hundred engine tests, the successful realization of grants from NASA and the Maine Technology Institute, and the Stardust technology demonstration mission in January of 2021.
Following a series of these static fire tests, MAREVL 2.0 will power the Starless Rogue launch vehicle in suborbital flight in late 2022.
