MJOLNIR SPACEWORKS Achieves Ground Combustion Test Success
MJOLNIR SPACEWORKS has made significant strides in rocket technology with the successful completion of ground combustion tests for its 40kN hybrid engine. The tests, conducted in two phases, took place in November 2024 and March 2025, showcasing the continual improvement in aerospace propulsion systems.
Phase One: November 2024
The initial tests utilized a prototype engine, setting the foundation for future enhancements. This phase primarily focused on testing the engine's performance under controlled conditions, allowing the team to collect valuable data on its capabilities.
Phase Two: March 2025
Following the insights gained from the first test, the second phase involved a refined engine with improved components. This test not only demonstrated an enhanced performance but also provided crucial feedback for ongoing product development. By addressing the findings from the initial trial, the team at MJOLNIR SPACEWORKS has displayed its commitment to innovation and excellence in engine design.
Building Towards Commercialization
MJOLNIR SPACEWORKS aims to further develop these engines with an eye towards commercialization. According to company representatives, achieving bulk production of rocket engines is of utmost importance, which includes the ability to conduct frequent tests tailored to customer specifications. The company is applying agile methodologies in product development to expedite the delivery of high-quality rocket engines to the market. This approach ensures that each iteration benefits from previous assessments, which is essential in the fast-evolving space industry.
Collaboration and Support
These successful trials have been made possible through collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (NEDO), particularly under their SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) program. This initiative aims to support innovative startups involved in research and development that address social challenges. The combustion tests were conducted at the facilities of Uematsu Electric Co., Ltd. in Akabira, Hokkaido, with support from the local community, emphasizing the importance of partnerships in advancing technology.
Gratitude for Support
MJOLNIR SPACEWORKS extends its heartfelt gratitude to all partners and supporters involved in making these combustion tests a reality. Their contributions play a vital role in the success of these pioneering efforts.
