Evolution of the Test Equipment

Electronics rat's nest (coming soon)
Old electronics rat's nest of wires. Hooking this up every time was quite a pain. New, clean electronics board. Organizing the electronics was one element in the modularization of our test equipment.
Old Kero (coming soon)
Original kerosene tank and structure. Bits and pieces were transported separately in the back of a truck. Bigger, stronger kero structure, ready to be transported on our trailer.
(coming soon) New LOX
LOX tower to gravity-feed LOX to the engine. New LOX structure. It gets pressurized to force LOX to the engine. Being shorter makes it safer and easier to set-up.
(coming soon) Test stand
Original test stand. New, improved test stand. There's an A-frame up top for lifting the engine platform.
