Scaled Composites has begun posting test logs for the SpaceShipTwo rocket engine. The site reads:
Many subscale hot-firings were performed at Scaled Composites between Jun 05 and April 09 to evaluate several different fuels, igniters, injectors, insulators and nozzle configurations, as well as other components and parameters.
Based on the results of those subscale firings, the Scaled/SNC team chose a full-scale rocket motor system design and began testing in April, 2009.
The log lists tests as being performed on April 20, May 6 and May 20. Each of the tests completed all of the objectives.
