Introducing Theseus! Our Rapidly-Designed, Affordable & Reusable Next Generation Engine.
1.5 months from clean-sheet to hot fire test. Theseus is LPL’s most affordable (sub-$1000) and fastest engine development program to date.
We're ramping up for hot fire on the 24th! In order-Atlas cryo flow to test a mock up injector for J&J, Atlas water flow to test our brand new throttling valve, Balerion LOx side water flow for injector characterizing flow, J&J pintle fuel side water flow for characterizing flow

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to our members, alumni and all women in the world! On this day we celebrate LPL’s women that will help to shape future space industry such as LPL’s former lead Emily Dzurilla who works at SpaceX.
Come visit us at #IAC2019 here at the @uscviterbi booth (Booth 220)! We're also presenting our paper on our Balerion engine at 5:45pm in 143a. Stop by if you're at the conference!

@USCRPL and @USCLPL We are right there with you. Over the weekend a hot fire of Janus was attempted, but the combustion chamber failed. The injector and testcell are still good though! We hope to try again in the coming weeks.
Just over 1 day before we can say “dracarys” and ignite our Balerion engine! Here is a clip a cold flow from July!

T-2 days to go before we head out to Mojave to perform our static-fire of Balerion! With Sunday’s hot-fire just over the horizon, we’re taking a look back at our last successful firing of our Hydra test stand and J&J engine!

T-3 days to go! The team is performing critical sensor integration checks to ensure we are able to properly receive data from the engine’s 39 sensors! Shout out to @OmegaEng for providing the lab sensors!

T-4 days until Balerion is unleashed! Please stay tuned for information on how to watch the firing live on Youtube. More information on the engine can be found on our website at https://t.co/NPihKK9YuS. #Balerion#rocketry#cryo#USC#lpl#liquidpropulsionlab#Rockets
