Last Tuesday Project DAWN, the hybrid motor group of project Stratos II, had a successful test motor injector test on the former architecture field.

The test was conducted to prove the injector concept for the test motor, the feed system setup in general and to observe the nitrous oxide flow behavior.

During the test the feed system was purged with nitrogen first, followed by a couple of bursts with nitrous oxide. Eventually the effect of flowing nitrous oxide on a PVC tube was tested. Video footage can be found on below:
