Today we’re going to be working on the crew module mockup and the MHD generators. We’re experimenting with a stand up configuration for the crew for the module. The nice thing about a full size mockup is that you get to experiment and find out quickly what works and what ideas to later pretend you never had.
We’re finishing up a mini-MHD generator. This one will use even smaller rocket motors. The mini will be used as a base for testing the sensors. With the smaller engines we can fired several times a day pretty cheaply. If all goes well with the sensor we’re going to try and get a firing in on the quads MHD generator.
We still have the 50 foot airbeam we want to test at 4 psi. However that’s best done outside and it looks like rain tomorrow, (we fire the rockets under an awning).
