Helios
In the Fall of 2018, the team began the Helios engine project. Helios is a pressure-fed bi-propellant liquid engine designed to produce 350lbf, and is fed with diluted Ethanol & LOX by an accompanying test stand. Helios's main goals are to understand basic engine design principles and learn how to efficiently and safely test high-pressure engines. As of now, Helios has been successfully assembled, and is nearly ready for its hot fire testwas successfully hot fired on May 16th, 2024. |
