Case Study: Orbital Operations accelerates rocket engine testing with Revel

Orbital Operations runs 40 rocket engine tests in a day with Revel

The customer, Orbital Operations, was developing a new rocket engine but had no data recording or automated test sequence capabilities. Their lean team lacked a dedicated software engineer and found existing tools too complex and unreliable, which slowed down their critical testing process. They needed a platform, Revel, that was simple to integrate and learn so they could focus on hardware development instead of software issues.

By implementing Revel, Orbital Operations integrated the system within 24 hours and was running tests the next day. The solution dramatically increased their test cadence, from hours between tests to just minutes, allowing them to run 40 tests in a single day. Revel's precise and reliable control eliminated software failures and enabled even interns to build complex test stands, saving the cost of hiring additional engineers and accelerating the entire development program.
