Plasma Processes completes 100 successful hot-fire cycles of its GRCop-84 liner for a 5000 lb. thrust combustion chamber.

"With the third test this morning, we accumulated 100 hot-fire cycles
on the VPS GRCop-84 liner of our 5K chamber at TS115. The chamber
liner remains in perfect condition - there is no roughening or hot spots
anywhere on the liner and the hot wall coating has not deteriorated
at all! This material for chamber liners is truly impressive."
Sandy Elam, NASA MSFC Propulsion Engineer
