Torch Igniter Testing Update
WLS team members have undertaken the first tests of the torch igniter design that will eventually be used set alight the throttleable motor on our lunar lander as it descends to the moon. The first tests were inconclusive and indicate the some tuning is needed for the propellant supply system, however that is expected to be resolved in the next couple of weeks.
Below are photos of some components of the torch igniter and the custom test rig that was built to support the tests.
