I didn’t know that. I was under the impression that FMC was the supplier and
there were a lot of politics involved.
What happened to all the hardware that was built?
Thanks.

Yes I do Anthony, it was death by 1000 cuts because they manufactured their own
HTP in house which put an unnecessary strain on their resources which otherwise
could have been eliminated with an OTS propellant. At least their hydrocarbon
fuel was OTS.

Hi Ken,
Do you believe the choice of the oxidizer was a contributing factor? If so, how?
Thanks.

For most uses, though, torch
igniters seem quite satisfactory.
I second that with >1000 successful torch ignitions under my belt.
Years ago I turned down a job with Beal Aerospace because he wouldn't budge
from HTP as his main/only oxidizer.
When I suggested he think about alternative oxidizers like LOx, he nearly got
angry. With such a closed mind attitude I felt the company's days were numbered.
The rest is history.

oxidizer uses RGHP and the fuel is NOT petroleum-based (e.g. RP1,
Kerosene, etc.).
