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.

Our Lady Elizabeth LOX/CH4 Rocket not only broke a collegiate height world record but also had something a little fun inside! Watch to the end! #SDSU #Aerospace #rockets #methalox

3... 2... 1... Launch! Rocket Project had a successful launch and recovery of Lady Elizabeth. The rocket reached a maximum height of 13,205 feet! Lady Elizabeth is the first methalox rocket to be successfully launched and recovered.

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!
