posted in chat already but putting it here so I can go more in detail and its easier to find if anyone wants to read it
- static fire test of the O-6160-B3-P rocket motor (beautiful name, I know, but im not good at naming and it tells me some technical info about the motor at a glance) this past Saturday (09/28/2024) was a success. the eventual booster motor for the space shot should be nearly identical to this one. the second stage space shot motor will be very similar to the O-4287-S-P motor fired a few months ago.
- next major things will include:
- a 2-stage rocket "super risky business" to test avionics, staging, tracking, telemetry, etc plus gaining high altitude flight experience.
- single stage high thrust rocket for high speed, high stress testing, plus more data acquisition for avionics, recovery, etc
- a space shot launch attempt
- development of super risky business is expected to take several months, with the flight taking place in the spring or summer of 2025.
- tons of small launches, ground tests, and other testing will happen working towards the space shot.
- first space shot launch attempt targeting fall 2026
