Static firing test systems for spacecraft with liquid propulsion engines are critical test infrastructures used to verify the performance, reliability, and design of the engines. These tests can be conducted in both horizontal and vertical configurations. Each configuration serves different purposes and enables the collection of different data.

The test stands and subsystems used for static firing tests are designed considering high pressure, high temperature, vibration, and thrust conditions. Particularly, ensuring the flow rates required to deliver the fuel and oxidizer to the combustion chamber via turbo pumps is highly critical.

In static firing stands, thrust measurement tests, combustion stability tests, cooling system performance tests, fuel and oxidizer system tests, endurance tests, and emergency scenario tests are primarily conducted.

At E2T, we develop custom static firing stands and subsystems tailored to the engines developed by our customers. With our high-speed data acquisition and control systems, we enhance the reliability of your tests, shorten your testing processes, and contribute to your development cycles.
