Over the past few days we have been putting together a new, larger test stand in anticipation of a firing of the Trailblazer main engine in the near future. It has been designed for liquid methane fuel and liquid oxygen propellants. When completed, it will support engines with thrusts up to 6kN.

Meanwhile a test fire rehearsal was successfully conducted at our Florida facility using a modified stand and the subscale test engine. The performance of the control systems and the pressure feed were verified.
