Haven-1’s primary structure qualification article has passed a critical test milestone: successful proof testing on 1/31/25 ✅ We are also updating our launch schedule to May 2026. Program update and additional testing details below. https://t.co/BKW14rTpuo

Haven-1’s primary structure qualification article has officially completed its final weld. The article is now ready for painting, window, and hatch integration before being shipped for pressure and load testing at our Mojave, CA test site.

First piece of 2024. Trying to go through the good old (and almost unlimited) folder of unfinished personal projects. Starting with the low-hanging fruit. F-104 model by Mikhail_Zelenov @Sketchfab.

Been a while since I posted anything, so here it goes. Last personal render of 2023.

E-2’s first 90-second test fire was a success! It performed at 55% power with a low conservative 1.6 mixture ratio as planned. The hardware appears in perfect condition ready for more tests. This is an exceptional result for a first test article (E-2 SN1). The test was also a key

The first fully integrated E-2 engine is ready for shipping to @NASAStennis for our upcoming full engine test campaign later this year. E-2 is a 22,000 lbf (10 tf) thrust LOX/Kerosene oxidizer-rich, staged combustion engine. Stay tuned for updates.

An E-2 Thrust Chamber Assembly 10 second test in 4x slow motion from September 12, 2023 at @NASAStennis. TCA testing continues as we prepare for a fully integrated engine test.

The E-2 team continues Thrust Chamber Assembly testing at the E Complex at @NASAStennis. Fully integrated engine test soon. 🔜🚀

T-1 day until we return to space 🚀 Watch Orbiter SN3’s road to orbit before the @SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter-8 launch tomorrow from Vandenberg Space Force Base, currently scheduled for 2:19pm PT.

Gotta credit @AlexSvanArt too of course. Thank you mate for your help on this project!

As if @vast website and all the media presence weren’t enough, artwork I produced made it to @SpaceX home page! Absolutely surreal!! Thank you again @vast and @SpaceX teams! 🙏🙏🙏

Truly thankful I was able to play a part in this. Huge congrats and thanks to @vast, @maxhaot, @SpaceX and @AlexSvanArt! Amazing news, can’t wait to see Haven-1 happen!!

Slowmo of our E-2 3D printed 🚀 engine test-fire demonstrating the highest performing liquid oxygen & kerosene combustion chamber ever built in the 🇺🇸. Recorded May 4, 2022 at @NASAStennis. More info: https://t.co/tGm2NuisH1 (📷 @considercosmos)

E-2 3D-PRINTED 🚀 ENGINE MILESTONE : We reached our nominal 10 metric ton of thrust, highest performance 2.62 o/f mixture ratio and 100 bar of combustion pressure! This chamber is uniquely lox cooled and 3D printed in copper alloy in a single piece.

And another step closer!

Another step forward! Congrats @maxhaot and @launcher team. Looking for awesome blue Mach diamonds next!

Breakthrough in our lox-cooled 3D printed E-2 🚀 engine development: no longer engine rich. Next we dial in the mix ratio, pressure and reduce film cooling to deliver the highest performance combustion chamber of its class.ISP Goal: 297s sl, 327s vac, 365s with vac nozzle lox/rp1

Hell yeah!

Metal 3D printing still blows my mind. Twelve chambers with internal cooling channels and manifolds produced in 3 days autonomously over the weekend. 🤯

Rockets & Spaceships are cool, but sea ships are too. Here's a scale model of HMS Arun. This was a personal exercise, trying to get closer to photorealism. Rendered in @KeyShot3D Last renders of 2021!
