Remus is the first motor from NEAL Aerospace, the student rocketry group I founded at Georgia Tech. It's a hybrid: nitrous oxide fed from a ground-side tank through a run valve into a 3D-printed ABS grain, inside a 3.5 in, 316 stainless chamber with a graphite nozzle. It isn't a launch vehicle. It lives bolted to a test stand, and the point is to fire it, instrument it, and understand it.
My part is the propulsion: the injector plates, the nozzle and its retention, the grain and the feed path, the CFD that sizes them, and the finite-element analysis that says the pressure hardware holds. The explorer below has all of it, analysed at 350 psi; the final chamber pressure will be higher, and the shell has the margin for it.
Remus is moving through procurement toward cold-flow and static-fire testing on Ostia.
