DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING A BIO-DERIVED FUEL BASED ROCKET. bluShift is developing a unique line of rockets powered by bio-derived fuels to launch tiny satellites into space. We’re looking at rockets in a way like no one else has before, by integrating multiple technologies for the first time in one motor. Not only does our approach increase performance, using a sustainably fa*med, bio-derived fuel in our rockets also mitigates the detrimental impact on the environment that traditional liquid and hybrid rocket motors have. Our team is small and our ambitions are big, helping to keep the cost of development down. We’ve optimized the fuel, developed a test stand and injection system for two different scales of prototype, and are moving towards a sounding rocket launch by the end of next year. bluShift Aerospace is developing our rocket differently. Our small team is not afraid to fail; rapid testing and iterations of design have resulted in drastic changes and great discoveries that a bigger team would have been slower to achieve. We focus our expertise in aerospace, computer science, physics, manufacturing, and mechanical design using Scrum framework, keeping bSA light on its feet and quick to adapt. The result being a rocket developed to have an ultra efficient nozzle, cutting-edge materials, and stellar fuel Every step of the way, we are keeping our customers launch cost in mind. Keeping our team small and efficient was the first step. Moving our center for operations to Brunswick, Maine reduced expenses while opening up opportunities for testing at the former naval air-base in Brunswick Landing. A stable, renewable fuel reduces many of the costs as*ociated with handling liquid rocket fuel or synthetic solid fuel. We’ve also succeeded in our commitment to perform most manufacturing in-house by using CNC milling machines and 3d printers, manufacturing our own fuel grains, and implementing 5S methodology in our workshop. In the long term, we expect to save 60% of our manufacturing costs as
