First Milestone with Successful Hot Fire Test

Cosmicport achieved a major propulsion development milestone with the successful hot fire test of its sub-scaled Methalox propulsion system. Conducted at the company’s R&D facility, the test marks an important step toward the development of a green and reusable small satellite launch vehicle.

Methalox Propulsion Hot Fire Testing

The hot fire test validates key combustion parameters, engine stability and performance metrics of the sub-scaled Methalox propulsion system. These results support Cosmicport’s continued progression toward full-scale engine development.

One of the key performance metrics used to evaluate rocket propulsion efficiency is specific impulse (Isp).

Progress Toward Full-Scale Engine Development

Successful testing of the sub-scaled propulsion system provides an important validation milestone before future full-scale engine development and flight testing activities.

Supporting Reusable Small Satellite Launch Vehicles

The propulsion development program supports Cosmicport’s goal of advancing scalable, cost-effective and sustainable space transportation through green and reusable small satellite launch vehicle technology.
