PRESSURE-FED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Ambition One

Ambition One is Drexel Rocket Team’s pressure-fed liquid engine development program, built to validate propulsion hardware, ignition, controls, plumbing, and test operations through real campaign execution.

OVERVIEW

A foundation for iterative liquid propulsion development

Ambition One serves as a platform for validating key engine and operations systems through direct testing. The program supports development of plumbing architecture, controls integration, ignition sequencing, instrumentation, and campaign execution.

More than a single test article, it represents the beginning of a larger propulsion development path that will feed into future programs, improved hardware, and increasingly capable systems.

TEST CAMPAIGN

Built to test, learn, and improve

The Ambition One campaign is centered around iterative test execution. Each milestone informs the next: validating hardware, refining operations, improving controls, and maturing the team’s integrated engineering process.

This page can later expand with video, detailed test writeups, subsystem callouts, and milestone-specific media.
