@John_Gardi @RocketLab @NASAStennis Looks like a pressure fed single element test rig. Likely using gas centered coaxial swirl.

[D @Philipp74731956]

@EdoardoLiverani @nextspaceflight This is body-centric though. No matter what direct it would have pointed it would be positive. The negative acceleration is probably due to vibration during startup.

@launcher @SpaceForceDoD What is the cycle type? Just a plain oxidizer rich staged combustion?

[D @Philipp74731956]

@NASASpaceflight What are those 6 hexagonal tiles below the SpaceX logo? 🤔

@AndrewParsonson @isaraerospace No hard feelings: They just know where to find really good engineers 😎

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

It's always nice to see real hardware! Here are some engine shots from one of Germany's three small launch startups, RFA. Looking forward to some test video.

@Erdayastronaut @Caspar_Stanley Preburner pressure seems a bit low for the CC pressure. In reality it's probably closer to 200bar. :)

@Erdayastronaut @WaterRocketLab1 PLEASE talk about the staged combustion augmented expander cycle Nikischenko talks about in his paper on kero-lox upper stage engines! I love that concept!

[D @Philipp74731956]

@Erdayastronaut What about a thermal barrier? Not really cooling, but keeps parts of the engine cooler 🤓

@rfa_space @daily_hopper Omg I love it 😍😍😍🚀

Day #10 🎅🎄

Today we have a special guest in our advent calendar: @daily_hopper did a drawing with our RFA ONE. Thank you so much, we absolutely love it! 🚀

Tell us, what do you think is in the present for the Hubble Space Telescope? 🎁

Day #1 🎅🎄

We just missed the first #advent last Sunday. So we light the first "#candle" belatedly. A little bigger, a little more powerful (~100kN) and a little hotter (~1300 °C), but all the more beautiful! 🔥
