We are about to hotfire Kairos! Check it out!🚀🚀 youtube.com/live/Dru0Gdgy_…

Our Solids & Hybrids teams have been working hard these last few weeks… here’s a look at what they’ve been up to! 👀💥

Meet “Kraz”: the latest hybrid fuel innovation by RDL! Made with a blend of HTPB and aluminum powder, this fuel is set up to propel us to new heights🌟A big shoutout to our eager freshman who got a hands-on experience, shadowing the mix process and diving right into the action🚀

Dual Power, Double the innovation! RDL soared with creativity, TWO amazing mixes! Introducing ‘Sambal 1.1’: a fast-burning ACPC igniter that lights up our rockets as swiftly as it ignites our dreams. From concept to creation, these students are fueling the future🔥

Blast from the past, thrust for the future! RDL just completed a massive ACPC mix from our 6” motor, ‘Fire Lizard’, drawing direct inspiration from the iconic Space Shuttle SRBs. ‘Fire Lizard’ is ready to roar into the skies, proving that legacy fuels innovation🚀🌟

Say hello to Derek Scandrett!👋 Watch Derek’s interview to learn more about his impact on our club and personal aspirations in rocketry!🚀youtu.be/vZb9iEldOO4?si…

Interested in rocketry research and hands on projects? The Rocket Development Lab here at ERAU Prescott has this and MORE!! Reach out to us today and get connected. [email protected] 🛠️ @rocketdevelopmentlab 🚀 AXFAB Room 136

Exciting news from the Rocket Development Lab! This is our latest flight vehicle: Deneb 2: Electric Boogaloo (D2EB). After 5 hot fires and achieving 1700 lbf of thrust—the highest ever from a liquid engine at ERAU—D2EB is almost ready for flight! Stay tuned for more updates!

Introducing Tyche, an engine with the goal of filling the gap in the thrust output of projects on campus, which is approximately 250 lbf to 1400 lbf. They did a great job on their Critical Design Review(CDR) and we’re looking forward to see what the Tyche team has in store!

Deneb 2 performed a static fire! They suffered a burn through at T+3.5s and are solving the problem. Design changes have been made to both chamber and engine to prevent a failure like these in the future! We are getting so close to launch that we can almost smell the exhaust!!

Take a look at a 10 second static fire attempt from our D2EB team here! youtube.com/live/cCDOfce3p…

Deneb 2 fired away this month with a successful 10-second static fire, moving closer to the launchpad! After a hole burnt through the thrust chamber, the team returned to the lab, made design changes and repairs, and got the rocket vertical again. Hard work really does pay off!

The Kairos engine was static fired last week for 5 seconds in RDL inspired Boost Propulsion Lab class. The engine generated 100lbf, further proving that the test cell upgrades performed in a senior design project last year were a success. The test cell is back better than ever!

Ignis-1, a research propellant, was made last weekend! Rest? We don't know her. Long weekend = more rocketry 😎

Why wait for Monday? During a productive weekend, our mix personnel made 45 lbs of Turbo White propellant and eight full-sized motors! IREC better watch out for us, we're coming for that trophy 🏆

Two weeks ago, RDL had the opportunity to attend FAR's Liquids Symposium. It was an awesome place to learn about other rocket projects, and it was a blast!

D2EB Livestream is scheduled to go live 7 am PST on 3/16/2025! youtube.com/live/pkjMXR1-V…
