Day-Glo Ethanol Tank and New GAR-E Engine-Case Proof Tests - May 18th, 2024

The Day-Glo ethanol tank and the New GAR-E engine case were hydrostatically tested at Waterloo on May 18th, 2024. Both components passed.

Result

The 2024 Launch Canada report records the Day-Glo fuel tank as proof-tested to 1.5 times its maximum expected operating pressure. The surviving test discussion does not preserve the pressure setpoints for either component, so no absolute pressure is reported here.
