Initial view of the VTVL before it had the plumbing and engines mounted. After drop testing it a few times, we added stiffeners between the legs. With wire between the legs, one engine mounted, and an older version of the custom manifold. The current version of the lander with the electronics box and cross braces. We did our own test to find out what would happen if there was a peroxide spill on various types of clothing.
Leather is, uh, exciting .
An early test that showed very poor catalyzation. A good test, with complete catalyzation after the first second. Some chuffing is still present. The next week s flight with stronger batteries. A clean liftoff, but we tipped it over after yanking on a tether.
