Stirring the Pot: An Engine Sold

Team Phoenicia is proud to announce that we have sold an 150 lbs-f engine (along with the propellant tanks previously) to Soneplar Space Systems. Soneplar is pursuing the Nanosat Launcher Challenge and attended the Nanosat Launcher Seminar that Team Phoenicia and Techshop had hosted on that challenge last November. The money raised by selling these engines as we have stated before is for helping us accomplish the GLXP.

With that, we thank Techshop, Soneplar, and the others that have helped us take another step forward.

That said, it seems that we must have pointed the rocket engine into the pot, because its not only astir, its a'boilin! This is the second time in almost as many months that Team Phoenicia has stirred up some controversy. We'll address it completely, we promise, but in due time.

However!

We will say that being a GLXP team has given Team Phoenicia a unique opportunity. Given our philosophy of UP not DOWN, we are trying to help others in our nascent NewSpace field to bootstrap their way past the stumbling blocks that we first encountered. The field is ripe for a positively humongous growth surge if the tools, expertise, and test facilities are readily available. That is one of the things that we are leveraging from the GLXP and will continue to do so. We will have more announcements along those lines in the future, but first...

We're extremely busy: we have engines, rockets, and tank orders to fulfill.

And we have the GLXP to win!

UP! NOT! DOWN!

See you on the Moon.
