The test was conducted at the test bench M11 of the German Aerospace Center in Lampoldshausen and marks a big milestone for the development of the N2ORTH rocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tested configuration has a dry mass of 13.5 kg and was loaded with 20 kg HTPB-based fuel. In addition, 2 kg of HDPE are located in the post combustion chamber in order to function as a film cooling ablator for the nozzle section. The multi-element swirl injector and graphite mixer in the post combustion chamber ensured a high reaction and overall engine efficiency, resulting in a specific impulse at sea level of 224 seconds. Operating at 30 bar chamber pressure and an oxidizer to fuel ratio of 6.07, an overall impulse of 267064 Ns was achieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-1024x753.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1950\" width=\"768\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-1024x753.png 1024w, https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-768x565.png 768w, https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-1536x1130.png 1536w, https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-2048x1506.png 2048w, https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-500x368.png 500w, https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-800x588.png 800w, https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-1280x942.png 1280w, https:\/\/hyend.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ThrustPlot-1920x1412.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The next test with minor optimizations of the design is scheduled for end of March.
