The primary package instrumentation measures those parameters critical to all engine static firings and subsequent vehicle launches.

The static firing included a full duration burn and a demonstration of the thrust vector control nozzle.

During static firing, the RP-1 fuel would leave hydrocarbon deposits and vapors in the engine.

In the autumn of 1929, Oberth conducted a static firing of his first liquid-fueled rocket motor, which he named the Kegeldüse.

Near Lampoldshausen there is since 1963 a large test stand areal for static firing of rocket engines, especially from Ariane-rockets.

Of the five Atlas-Able rockets built, two failed during static firings, and the other three failed to reach orbit.

The E-1, although successfully tested in static firing, was quickly seen as a technological dead-end and was abandoned for the larger, more powerful F-1.

The first static firing of a full-stage developmental F-1 was performed in March 1959.

The crew at the Interim Test Stand ran over 200 static firings to improve the Redstone propulsion system.

The RTTC has developed a capability for static firing hypergolic liquid rocket engines.
