GAR-E Hot Fire Attempt - November 19th, 2023

The November campaign included an ignition test and one hot-fire attempt. The gerb igniter lit propellant downstream, but the flame did not propagate into the chamber. Recorded chamber pressure reached approximately 80 psi; the test review attributed this to cold nitrous vapour rather than sustained combustion.
