XCOR did 1000 consecutive igniter tests several times. It almost became a
rite of passage for interns.

Does anyone have data for what is the most number of ignitions performed
on bi-propellant, non-hypergolic rocket igniter without being rebuilt? I
know that XCOR has done thousands of runs on their igniters, but I don't
know how often they get rebuilt or if anyone has performed comparable
reliability tests. What is the state of the art for igniter cycles?
Thanks,
