About
A workhorse rocket engine and test stand built for rapid-fire injector testing. Try multiple variations on every type, measure what works, publish all data for free, and fly the best design to 50,000 feet
Impact
Student and amateur teams building nitrous rockets still rely on 1970s references written for completely different propellants. This project gives them real, high quality test data, so they design faster, build better, and fly higher instead of guess
Progress
First round of preliminary injector testing and revision, bare bones stand built, more advanced stand high level design done, detailed design in progress. Flight vehicle(for project publicity) design completed and built
Team
I am a professional propulsion engineer, in charge of all fluid systems on a major launch vehicle engine, and have worked with liquid propulsion rocket engines for almost 5 years, with almost 100 hotfires and multiple launches under my belt

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
