A few weeks ago we did three Mojave Sphinx launches, which put us at 96 total liquid rocket firings since our first test. Tomorrow we'll round that out to 100 in under five years, including the debut of our newest design, Bobtail (pictured on the test stand)

Four tests completed us today, concluding with a Garfield Gorange E85 firing by Shiro Sphinx! That puts us at 100 firings, 12/15/2020 to 11/29/2025.

It's Half Cat Day, marking five years since we conducted our first test of a liquid rocket motor! Here's the longer message we posted to our discord server - so much has happened since then, and we couldn't have done it without the excitement and interest from everyone out there.

This Saturday, we conducted three more tests of Bobtail, our in-development all-COTS liquid rocket. We found problems and solved problems, evolving the design toward better usability and performance.

Two good tests on Bobtail so far today, and currently recycling for a third. The new ox-centered pintle injector is working relatively well
