Redshift OTV qualified for flight
We have completed a full duration hot fire of the fully integrated Redshift OTV, qualifying it for flight.
As always, our approach for this hot fire was to get as close to the real thing as possible. So it included a nearly 600s (10 minutes!) burn after an assumed stage separation, followed by a 40 minute coasting phase simulation, and a 30s orbit circularization burn. Welcome to LEO!
The team will now prepare the fully qualified Redshift OTV for its shipment to SaxaVord, where it will be integrated with the payloads for the first test flight later this year.

RFA starts hot fire campaign of its first stage
มุมมอง 24K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
First fire! We have successfully kicked off the hot fire campaign for our first stage at SaxaVord Spaceport. We hot-fired a total of four Helix engines, igniting one by one at four second interval. All engines ran simultaneously for 8 seconds with a total hot-fire duration of 20 seconds. The test ran flawlessly through start-up, steady-state and shutdown. With this hot fire, we were able to dem...

RFA's upper stage has arrived in Sweden for the IST campaign
มุมมอง 3.3Kปีที่แล้ว
On we go! Our upper stage has arrived in Sweden at SSC - Swedish Space Corporation and is currently being prepared for its IST (Integrated Systems Test) campaign. We will start with smaller tests and conlcude with a hotfire over the entire flight duration. In the process, we test all systems for functionality and compatibility. To say we are excited would be an understatement! PS: Watch the vid...
74 seconds hot fire test - Helix engine
มุมมอง 18K2 ปีที่แล้ว
RFA successfully hot fires Helix engine for a total of 74 seconds 74 seconds! This is the total time we have now hotfired our Helix in flight configuration. The test campaign consisted of three tests of 4, 30 and 40 seconds each - without the need to replace any components on the engine. A great achievement which once again illustrates how reliable and performant Helix is. Read more here ▶️ bit...
Preburner test - RFA meets Beethoven
มุมมอง 3.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
280 bar pressure, 25 kg/s mass flow…our preburner is the heart of our staged combustion engine! The exhaust gases from its oxygen-rich combustion drive the turbopump and are then fed to the main engine. We are very proud to have developed the prebruner - an engine within an engine - entirely in-house! 🎧 We recommend headphones for this video! ⚠️ Do not watch it if you have photosensitive epilepsy!

What country did you tests this rocket
what country did you test your this rocket
speaking in english?? a german proud company??? what a shame!
Why you don’t show your latest launch? th-cam.com/video/3sbmqszYvX8/w-d-xo.html
Why you don’t show your latest launch?
Wow , nicht mal gewusst dass so schöne Fabrik gleich im Nachbarschaft gibt’s 😮 Vielleicht 400-500meter könnte in Hausschuhen besuchen lol Bin echt stolz auf euch 😍
Let's go boys! Europe deserves to be the beacon of innovation as it once was. There's enormous potential in RFA. You guys will take the space industry by storm!
I literally live next to the Rocket Factory of Augsburg. I can see it from my window haha. I never knew exactly what they are even doing. That’s kinda interesting because i am just sitting on my bed, seeing their lights still turned on and wanted to know what they actually do. So i ended up here haha 😂
Is the engine sea level optimized or vacuum? Just curious because the space one would need vacuum op but to test you may need sl op
Congratulations!
This is a big deal for Uk space flight, I wonder whos going to turn up for the launch
what is the result into a microgravity env? lol 20s burn?? another german no sens tech bringing nothing well spent money project! ya vollllllll
Nitrous oxide? Is it a hybrid rocket engine?
Absolutely brilliant work RFA. 🔥👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing guys, very well done!
Félicitations de France à toute l'entreprise et à votre belle équipe internationale. J'attends avec impatience votre premier tir réel. J'espère que vous "tirerez" les premiers. Bon courage..
Glückwunsch! 🥳🚀
Good luck RFA, looking forward to launch!
Amazing test. Congratulations!
The Nazi platform?!??! Thats so friggin awesome 😂😅😂
Congratulations. Best wishes for integration and launch.
Way to go RFA! Finally a launch provider that is not an embarrassment to Europe. Can't wait for your launch, wish I could be there!
made my day laffing, thx
Now it’s an embarrassment to Europe!
@@BurkhardusX not its a white elephant, German's willing to challenge the French on rockets engineering, funny indeed
@@BurkhardusX really? You expected them to get to orbit without a RUD? Tell me without telling, John Snow. Here's a PSA: space is hard. SpaceX may make it look easy, but even they have their share of hiccups despite being the most experienced launch provider out there.
@@Keiranful Thanks for the PSA - though in this case, it seems more like a 'Personal Stupidity Announcement.' Space may be hard, but this rocket didn’t even make it off the ground - it didn’t move one meter towards space. As Qui-Gon Jinn once said, "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent." It’s interesting how you casually dismiss this disaster as just part of the process. The rocket didn’t even lift off - the engine exploded right after ignition. Even the Augsburger Allgemeine describes the incident as a "disaster" and a "serious setback." So, it’s not exactly something you can brush off as a routine part of learning. Given that the rocket didn’t fly even a millimeter, it’s understandable why I view this as an embarrassment for Europe. Next time, you might want to reconsider your overconfident statement before giving lessons on the hardships of space travel.
Go,I trust you can making It ！
Nice job!
Go RFA! Go! Great work
3,2,1 - go, Helix, go! Very impressing to see this footage. By the way @ 1:53 - very nice watering-system at the flame-diverter.... VERDIENT!👌
See you in Space RFA!! Lets Go!!!!
Wow, that's great progress!
My first thought after watching. "Yes RFA! Let`s Go!"
Hi
Nice! That's how you test a service module ;-)
RFA third stage support to full reach orbit right?
precise orbits, trimming, etc., not exactly like rocket lab
Is it true it’s no longer possible to reach Skaw beach by road.
Macht so weiter
YAH VOLLLLL GUTTEN POLUTIONNNNNN, CO2 KEROZENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHHH YA GUTTEN FOR PLANTENNNN😂🤣
Great , when Kerolox CO2 polution is more and more contested as not a bargain for future, they copy the dirty F9 without landing any stage, poor germans, VAROOOMMMMM
Congratulations team RFA, hope a bright future awaits. For all mankind!
Good luck RFA and Saxa Vord
If I was in Europe I would definitely try to work with you guys. I currently work for Arojet Rocketdyne in Washington state
Ist nur in dem "weiß angelaufenen" Bereich Treibstoff?
Good luck!!
Amazing - Ad Astra!
This is the only company I'd like to work for.
Wow! Such a young team, I'm amazed!
Man sieht leider nur eine züngelde Flamme, keinen Machkegel. Als Außenstehender ist so die einwandfreie Funktion nicht zu beurteilen. Infos zu Testwerten kamen auch nicht in den Interviews. Also nur Showspektakel ?
That didn't look like a full duration hot fire test. Shouldn't it be more like 8 minutes??
