As a part of the ORVEAL project, the design of the new compound rocket engine MEC-80MIA and MEC-80JMIC is subjected to a line of restrictions imposed by the experiment plan, which ad an extra weight to the definitely expensive phase of the experimental development of the new compound rocket engine. The direct way to reduce the time and cost of development was found in tediously defining the experimental plan, the variables involved, the nature of the pay-off polynomials and the technological solutions. For the specific case the technological and reliability related constraints are explained, that led to the definition of a reversed-vertical configuration of the thrust frame of the test stand and of the scale and support system of the thrust frame, with position-defined sensors for acquiring the thrust tensor value. Simplicity and reliability were the main requirements in designing and manufacturing the components of the test stand in the new environment of the recently enhanced CEZAR proving grounds of ADDA ltd in Fagaras, Transylvania.
