Boston University Rocket Propulsion Group

Yesterday afternoon, BURPG conducted a 1 second hotfire test—the first by the team in several years, and the first ever on the Horizontal Test Stand. Initial data review indicates that all performance targets were met.

This qualification test article will undergo several additional tests. After that, an identical flight article will undergo a brief acceptance test campaign.

The Boston University Rocket Propulsion Group would like to extend a huge congratulations to the team and alumni of the USC Rocket Propulsion Laboratory for their incredibly successful launch of their Traveler IV vehicle. We know the difficulty, long nights, and rigor that are associated with rocketry at this level. This launch was the culmination of years of design, testing, and building, and we are all inspired by knowing what is possible by a group of dedicated university students who know no limits.
We’re coming for you guys. See you at 328000 feet.
From all of BURPG, Flight On.
