Here is a summary of root causes for RS-1's recent scrubs (ABL Space, 🇺🇸). #1. Failure of a Stage-1 Fuel Pressurization Valve. #2. Insufficient LOx conditioning resulted in low pressure in the gas generators. #3. Marginally low pressure detected in TEA-TEB chamber.
May 2, 2024 · We narrowed our design trade space quickly by deciding we would 3D print our chamber and would do so using machines and materials that were well-distributed and understood – nothing cutting edge. This set the maximum size for our printed parts, and set our material as Inconel.
Oct 26, 2023 · ABL Space Systems has been quiet since the company conducted its first launch attempt in January, which resulted in the rocket crashing back down to Earth a little over 10 seconds after liftoff....
RS1 components and pressurization systems are optimized for simplicity, enabling rapid production and simple operation. Stage, fairing, and payload separation devices are non-pyrotechnic to enable simple handling procedures, minimize payload shock environments, and increase mission assurance.
It turned out the performance impact of running fewer blades was minimal, so we cut the number down, allowing our machinist to use larger, less fragile tools. Machine time dropped to less than a day, which was a significant win for turbine cost and machine time.
Feb 14, 2024 · Designer and manufacturer of orbital launch vehicles and deployable ground systems that enable responsive launch capabilities delivered in a shipping container. ABL Space Systems is building America’s next great launch company, with radical new perspectives on flexible, transportable, and cost-effective rockets and launch infrastructure.
