Overview

Project Overview

The Mirror Mount

This is a mirror mount for the high speed filming of the RDE hotfire, as our engine points into a concrete chamber and we can't see the exaust during the test. This mount is designed to hold a mirror at a 45 degree angle to the engine, allowing us to see the exaust plume during the test. The mount is designed to be adjustable in all directions, so we can get the best view of the exaust plume.

This mount should be manufactured soon ahead of our first hotfire.
