Diablo

Liquid Engine Test Stand

Overview

SRL Liquids has identified liquid oxygen (LOX) as the clear path forward in our development. In order to prepare for our first flight vehicle we are prototyping two engines in parallel, for use with one test stand. Working with multiple industry mentors, our goal is to rigorously test these engines before integrating them into flight vehicles.

Objectives:

  • Characterize our two engines

  • Develop robust procedures for the operation of LOX-powered engines

  • Create a path forwards to a liquid fueled launch vehicle

  • Create a test stand that can facilitate future liquid engine development

Diablo supports up to 2000 lbf thrust, 23.5 gallons of fuel and 27.5 gallons of oxidizer.
