Earlier today, our partner Outer conducted the first test flight of the Redshift rocket. The mission was fully successful! This rocket will be used to attain an L1 certification eventually.

The Exela Alliance (our way of bringing together beginner amateur rocketeers) recently expanded with the addition of @Mythostch.

Mythos joins Outer, ASA SXC, @onklasxc, @EllipticalSF in the alliance. We look forward to expanding it more soon!

We have finally decided our next steps!

Ashengine will be shortened, a new and upgraded thrust-measuring test stand will be built, and we will then move on to static fires with that. Additionally, the threads will be reinforced and a less... angry fuel mix will be used.

Here we go, the flight videos.

Our second and final SoberRocket is preparing to launch just 2 months after the first vehicle, and could fly as soon as next week!

Hotfired, not notified.

[Elliptical Spaceflight @EllipticalSF]

IGNITION! At 2:38 PM EST, we notified an E12-6 motor. While ignition was successful, the test was not. Ultimately, after the hotfire ended, the stand was severely damaged and melted, and fell over. Root cause is already known, and improvements will be made. More information soon!

[Elliptical Spaceflight @EllipticalSF]

Starting momentarily!

[Elliptical Spaceflight @EllipticalSF]

We are GO for this ignition in just a few minutes!

[Elliptical Spaceflight @EllipticalSF]

We are proceeding with the hotfire test of an E12-6 motor in the new Aquarius hotfire stand today. Aiming for no earlier than 3:00 PM EST, though a delay to later is likely. A livestream should be available.

🚨LAUNCH ALERT 🚨
Targeting no earlier than Saturday, May 31st at 7:00PM PST for the the launch of mission H2-4! This mission will be the first of our new Hera 2 rocket dubbed “Crusade” which features numerous optimizations.

Successful static fire of Aims-1 Mockup!

[Exela Space Industries @ExelaSpace_ind]

During Aims-1 Mockups static fire preparations this morning we had an observation shortly after it was fully stacked. We are still going to conduct a static fire today at 1:30pm ET but it will not be fully stacked. Watch Live: https://t.co/INlWasx6l1

This summer, ASA SXC will attempt to get their level 1 certification in rocketry. This will allow Exela to experiment and launch with larger rocket motors in the future. Learn More: https://t.co/UW7h2vndGx

That's all for now, keep an eye on our social media and website for more information!

Elliptical Spaceflight will restart operations on Wednesday, May 28th. Here's a thread of what we'll be doing over the next few months... 🧵

In 2025, we also plan on designing, building, and launching Gamma MK4. This will take lessons learned from Gamma MK1-3 in order to hopefully make a bellyflop maneuver possible in a model rocket.
