A bird? A plane? Nope! This is a rocket engine pintle! This is one part of the KSD booster engine injector system! These photos were taken during a water flow test of the engine hardware, in which the team attempts to categorize the efficacy of the orifices.

Last November, we scrubbed the launch of our Lady Elizabeth rocket due to issues with our recovery system. After making fixes over winter break, we are now ready to go back out for another launch attempt on February 1st! #rockets #sdsu #university #launch

Last week Rocket Project had the opportunity to give a speech for the 1969: First Moon Landing stamp unveiling at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. It was a great honor to be included in remembering what created generations of Dreamers!
#FintegralFriday Checking the fit of our lower airframe and engine assembly!
A few photos from our static last weekend. It was a hot one! We got to terminal sequence but we had an igniter issue. We look forward to going back out this summer!

The farthest object ever explored is slowly revealing its secrets, as scientists piece together the puzzles of the Kuiper Belt object the @NASANewHorizons spacecraft flew past on New Year's Day, four billion miles from Earth. See what they’ve learned: go.nasa.gov/2HGq1li

Nearly 50 years after we collected Moon rocks and soil during Apollo, we're ready to look at them with new eyes. 9 teams will receive unopened samples from Apollo 17 to study them with the latest technology. Thanks for the time capsule @NASA circa 1972! go.nasa.gov/2HeFjhM
A photo from our #LOX Fueling Ops team this weekend! We got to the pre-terminal sequence and our remote pressurization solenoid decided to not actuate. We will be rigorously checking and testing this issue for a successful static next visit in a few weeks!
