Hybrid rocket engine test (with TVC gimbal)

Test of the hybrid rocket engine SARA v2, designed for use in the TVC (thrust vector control) project funded by FAPDF and CNPq. The propellants are N2O and paraffin, with a thrust of 1 kN. The engine was tested for 5 seconds to confirm system integrity.
The main achievements are as follows:
- The lightweight engine structure, interfaces, and gimbal sustained dynamic and thermal loads.
- The integrity of heat protection was maintained.
- The nozzle temperature remained within safety limits.
- Design thrust, mass flow rate, and chamber pressure were achieved through real-time valve control.
