ORBiT at SU

Almost ready for the first test fire of the Odin engine! Pic featuring the injector plate for the oxidizer system.

Welcome back everyone, we hope you had an great winter break. We're planning on having a busy semester, so stay tuned and if you haven't already, like our page!

Welcome back, everyone! Our first GBM is this Friday! All current members and interested students are invited. Gabriel Smolnycki (ORBiT alumni) will join us as a guest speaker.

A third hydrostatic test has been completed on our engine. This allows us to confidently test our engine for the third time this coming Sunday, where we are aiming to meet our residence time of combustion mark (i.e. how long the gasses are in the chamber for ideal combustion).

This past weekend, we completed our 2nd ground test with a ramped-up ox mass flow. This led to a much quicker burn, but we are still focusing on a more complete burn of the propellants.
