Forget the Hollywood countdowns, the real drama in rocket science happens on the test stand!
On this episode of Throttle Up, we go inside bluShift Aerospace with the two people making the engine work: Lead Mechanical Engineer Luke Saindon and Lead Propulsion Test Engineer Gerard Desjardins.
They reveal the constant, high-stakes battle between complex computer modeling (optimizing weight vs. power) and the physical grind of the test lab. From mixing bio-fuel to surviving engine test day, this is the honest, raw story of building a hybrid rocket motor from the ground up.
Tune in for the unfiltered truth about the compromises, the 99 problems (but the fuel ain’t one), and the intense focus required to launch a new era of spaceflight!
