Propulsion & Hot-Fire

Rocket Propulsion Testing & Ground Validation

High-frequency transient DAQ, turbopump hot-fire telemetry, and acoustic vibration analysis for ISRO (LPSC/IPRC Mahendragiri) and SpaceX (McGregor Test Stand, Texas).

HIGH-FREQUENCY HOT-FIRE DAQ

Microsecond Hot-Fire Transient Capture & Rocket Engine DAQ

Ingest tens of thousands of combustion chamber pressure transducers, turbopump vibration accelerometers, and cryogenic flow sensors up to 100kHz. Capture ignition pressure spikes, acoustic resonances, and LOX/LH2 chill-down transients across ISRO LPSC, IPRC Mahendragiri, and SpaceX McGregor test stands.
