Static Fire Test Stand (Sep 2025 - May 2026)

Project Overview

Test stand designed for static fires of solid, liquid, and hybrid rockets at a collegiate level. The objective of the design of this stand is to withstand the structural, thermal, and vibrational loading experienced during testing. The stand is 6 feet tall and constructed from modular T slot aluminum extrusion. An S type load cell is used along with a LabJack T7 data acquisition system which can measure thrust, temperature, and pressure at a high sample rate. This project was completed as a part of the senior design course at NYU Tandon.
