Small update on the new plan of attack. We are now pursuing the development of a gas generator cycle 5000 pound-force ablative keralox rocket engine. We are currently attempting to calculate all the parameters for such an engine. With one ablative chamber on hand for testing, a hydrostatic test to simulate run pressures is expected very soon. Tests of scaled-down turbine, pump and gas generator components will follow. Stay tuned.
