Pat Bahn, CEO of TGV Rockets, was the guest for this Space Show program. We began the discussion with Pat updating us with new developments with TGV which focused on the successful completion of critical test firings with their 30,000 lb. engine. These tests were carried out at the NASA Stennis Space Center in Mississippi and focused on the basic ignition and verification issues for the rocket engine which uses JP-8 fuel. Pat discussed at length the reasons behind using JP-8 as well as the significance of conducting these tests at Stennis.
