Pretty big step right here. Special shout out to the test team who seem to just conjure up the test facilities to make this stuff happen. The facilities are no small feat themselves!

Shoutout to our software team on this one - software is all shiny and new across all our stands. Hard work that makes pics like this possible!

Well written, important, and topical piece by Tory Bruno. Indicative of the broader need for novel responsive space capabilities. Nice work. medium.com/@ToryBrunoULA/…

This is why we started from day 1 thinking hard about rapidly reusable heat shields. It’s metallic, ductile, and the surface temperature is tailorable and controllable well below material limits. It certainly hasn’t been to space (or back) yet, but to the best ability on earth

In the pantheon of liquid rocket engines, full flow unquestionably sits alone at the top. Hard? Yes. But needed for full reuse and long life. Unbelievably proud of our little team for pulling this off! #ffsc #fullflow

Suction testing is one of the most exciting phases of any engine development program since we intentionally drive the pumps to the onset of cavitation. It’s important to know where that limit is, but cavitation can very quickly lead to RUD. Happy to report awesome results with

We’re quickly reaching the end of things we can do with S1E on our current stand. Full test stand is on its way at our Moses Lake test site! Construction is nearing completion, to be followed by activation testing. It’s gorgeous!

The economics of full and rapid reuse are so powerful that it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of who and when. Thanks Mo Islam 🚀 for the chance to discuss!
