The tests allowed the team to assess the engine\u0026rsquo;s thrust, chamber pressure, and overall performance on the ground and gather the necessary data needed to develop a version for flight. The testing also exposed YJSP members to a massive design and hands-on skill building experience -\u0026nbsp; two things that are rare outside the commercial spaceflight industry.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/ae.gatech.edu\/news\/2019\/12\/hot-fire-test-success-yellow-jackets-space-program\u0022\u003ERead the full article\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Yellow Jacket Space Program (YJSP) got one step closer to realizing its ultimate mission last month, when its seven-student Propulsion Team hosted two successful static hot-fire tests of its YJ-1S engine at a privately owned test site in Douglas County.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The Yellow Jacket Space Program (YJSP) got one step closer to realizing its ultimate mission last month, when its seven-student Propulsion Team hosted two successful static hot-fire tests of its YJ-1S engine at a test site in Douglas County."}],"uid":"27842","created_gmt":"2019-12-05 03:21:13","changed_gmt":"2019-12-05 03:21:13","author":"Ashlee Gardner","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-12-04T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2019-12-04T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"629697":{"id":"629697","type":"image","title":"Ready to Hot-Fire","body":null,"created":"1575515685","gmt_created":"2019-12-05 03:14:45","changed":"1575515685","gmt_changed":"2019-12-05 03:14:45","alt":"Ready to Hot-Fire","file":{"fid":"239794","name":"yjsp_propulsion_team.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/yjsp_propulsion_team.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/yjsp_propulsion_team.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":466828,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/yjsp_propulsion_team.jpg?itok=yVLYv81J"}}},"media_ids":["629697"],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EKathleen Moore\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:kathleen.moore@ae.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ekathleen.moore@ae.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["kathleen.moore@ae.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
