#UrsaMajorFirsts: We became the first U.S. company to fire an oxygen-rich staged combustion engine, and in 2019, we developed the highest-performing kerosene engine in the United States. Our kerosene engine, Ripley, has the highest Specific Impulse (Isp) of any American kerosene rocket engine in history. By adapting quickly and creating efficiencies, we help customers launch faster without relying on foreign technology or incurring the high cost of building engines in-house.
Growing up, my Dad's house only had those portable kerosene heaters. This looks a lot cozier.
Fantastic
