We are in the midst of designing an engine for the module. Hydrogen Peroxide is our current oxidizer of choice and we plan on using Kerosene as the fuel. The engine will be pressure fed using helium. We ill test Several methods of ignition. Stay tuned for progress on the engine development. We are starting with a 250 lb thrust engine and will work our way up. We also want to experiment with spike plug nozzles, aerospikes, and we might test each engine with a plug nozzle.
