HyEnD is proud to announce that the N2ORTH propulsion system was successfully qualified in a hot fire test for a propellant throughput of more than 100 kg! This marks an important milestone for the project, as we now have a flight-worthy propulsion system for the launch. During the test, the rocket tank was operated in a blow down setup together with the fluid system and engine of the rocket. The ground support system of the rocket was used in order to fill the rocket's tank with nitrous oxide and helium. The test included the main operation phase of the engine and also the gas blow down after the depletion of liquid oxidizer, resulting in an overall hot fire duration of more than 50s. In the upcoming weeks, the team will prepare another test with increased propellant mass in order to unlock the full potential of N2ORTH.
