Aeon Vac MDC at Stennis

- 📍STENNIS: Here at Relativity, we recently completed our first Aeon Vac full duration Mission Duty Cycle, which ran for 310 seconds! This is the longest Aeon Engine testing we have ever completed (previous record was 196.58s), and represents the full time that a second stage engine will burn on its way to space. #RelativitySpace #Milestone #Engine #Hotfire

no annoying intro, no bs, no music, just straight to the point, QUALITY
Godspeed Relativity!
Beautiful! And that the engine is is 3D printed is amazing! Love you guys!
The sound of the cutoff is awesome.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really cool, can’t wait for Terran 1’s test flight!
How many Aeon 1 Vacs will power the Terran R second stage? And will it propulsively land?
@SpaceX-SFS there are going to be 9 engines on the first stage
@SpaceX-SFS ohh nvm sry
Beautiful 🙏
Really solid showing of the hardware. Congratulations to the team members and the engineers. Excellent work!
Congrats on great test. Getting really excited to see you guys fly!!!
That was literally HOT!
Good work !!, i can't wait till Launch 🚀, let's go to Mars and beyond 💯
Too cool. Congrats on the test fire.
Awesome
Good Job! Can't wait to see you guys in orbit!
Ok, you have nailed the throat geometry with a 3d printed short bell. How are you going to nail the full bell cooling channels with 3d printing? It just seems impossible. How?
Edit: I just watched Tim Dodd's video on nozzle cooling. 3D printing seems to lend itself to ablative cooling - but also implies single use, which in turn implies DoD interest with sustainable distributed small-scale manufacturing?
It's regenerative cooling. 3d printer permits you to make the recirculation system so compact and precise. This engine is completely reusable. Without 3d printer this engine wouldn't be possible.
As you can see the outside of the engine is completely frozen.
This engine is for vacuum and you can't test a vacuum engine in normal conditions at sea level.
Probably the vacuum nozzle part it will be cooled by thermal radiation to space with a especial material.
@@Andres-gr3us Thanks for the explanation. I'll continue to watch the progress, anticipating success.
Are these tests done without bells or do the engines just not have them?
For a vacuum engine, doing it without a bell on the ground is important as with the extended bell, flow seperation would occur at these atmospheric pressure levels.
@@triton6490 not always. A few vaccum engines have been tested with nozzles. Makes sense tbh as these engines aren't that large and are rather low pressure Compared to a majority of Vaccum engines
@@Sonderax the few vacuum engines that ate tested at 1 atm usually have very high chamber pressure, and can take it. Like the Raptor vac for example
Inconel
👀👌 damnn
Open cycle?! I'm curious on how you will achieve Terran Rs apparent payload ratio...
Shut it down, you're throwing us out of our orbit.
When will this one go to space?
You might want to change your spark plugs next time!
If Reg guys like me could have gotten in on those funding rounds…
I agree! We should set up some sort of crowdfunding for space companies and SPACs so we can all get a chance to fund!
gg
Kind of late to be doing the full duration fire isn't it? First launch isn't but a month or two away
Cool! It worked, right? 😁
Is that a toy rocket?
