Peter Heeren puts an "extension" in its casing. We use "extensions" to boost the igniters flame.
The test stand has just been carried to the spot where the test will take place.
Peter Leemker sets up the motor test software.
Peter Heeren installs the thrust gauge.
The igniter has just been fired. A small puff of smoke can be seen just above the smoke deflection pipe.
The test when all looked fine.
