🚀 Our Scintilla engine is ready!

After months of rapid iteration using our in-house testing rig, our engineering and product teams have delivered a game-changing propulsion system After 1,200+ seconds of testing and 40+ restarts, our 3D-printed engine achieved:
⏱️ 65-second continuous burns (and counting)
🔥 92% efficiency - exceeding our targets
📈 10x scalability potential

This vertical integration approach has allowed us to move fast, keep costs down, and maintain complete control over this mission-critical technology. The engine will power our Optimus Viper satellites for rapid orbital manoeuvring and space domain awareness missions.🛰️

Watch the video to see how our team built this entirely in-house - from first spark to steady-state burn - proving that small, focused teams can deliver world-class propulsion systems on accelerated timelines

✨From a single spark, resilient space begins...🚀

Behind every breakthrough are countless hours of preparation.
Our team stands ready to ignite something extraordinary:

Scintilla, our 50N engine, awakens with its first flames! 🔥
A crucial milestone in powering the next generation of Vipers.

This is just the beginning.

🚀Join us as we transform access to space, one spark at a time.

SpaDeX Docking Update:

🌟Docking Success

Spacecraft docking successfully completed! A historic moment.

Let’s walk through the SpaDeX docking process:

Manoeuvre from 15m to 3m hold point completed. Docking initiated with precision, leading to successful spacecraft capture. Retraction completed smoothly, followed by rigidisation for stability. Docking successfully completed.

India became the 4th country to achieve successful Space Docking.

Congratulations to the entire team! Congratulations to India!

🚨 SPADEX DOCKING IS ACHIEVED ✅️

ISRO has successfully docked 2 spacecrafts in Earth orbit for the first time!! 🛰🤝

This makes India the 4th nation to indigenously develop docking technology & it's also a crucial milestone for ISRO's future missions! 🇮🇳

Earlier this morning, from our South American site, we captured a low-elevation pass of SpaDeX-A (SDX01) and SpaDeX-B (SDX02) at 09:30 AM IST. These two spacecraft, currently separated by an estimated 4.5 km, are setting the stage for the groundbreaking docking of the @isro SpaDeX Mission.

🇮🇳 The inaugural space robotic arm of India, RRM-TD aka Walking Robotic Arm, is actively functioning on #POEM4!

This is a significant achievement for ISRO's upcoming project Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS). 🚀✨

What a CATCH 🚀

Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.

These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years.

Flight rate will grow exponentially from there, with the goal of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years. Being multiplanetary will vastly increase the probable lifespan of consciousness, as we will no longer have all our eggs, literally and metabolically, on one planet.

🚀 🇦🇺 We're excited to launch the Space MAITRI project, a landmark Aussie-Indian initiative targeting space debris for a sustainable space future.

Featuring our Orbital Servicing Vehicle launching in India. "MAITRI" (friendship) captures our collaborative spirit! 🤝🇮🇳

[小型月着陸実証機SLIM @SLIM_JAXA]

Last night, we received a response from #SLIM, confirming that the spacecraft made it through the lunar night for the second time! Since the sun was still high and the equipment was still hot, we only took some shots of the usual scenery with the navigation camera. #GoodAfterMoon

Today, the future is closer than ever!!
At @SpaceMachinesCo , I had the incredible privilege of witnessing the launch of our very first OSV - Optimus, a mission that marks a giant leap for the space industry.

This isn't just another launch; it's the beginning of a new era.

[Space Machines Company @SpaceMachinesCo]

🚀🚀 We are in Orbit !! 🛰️🛰️ 🙌

Optimus was successfully deployed by SpaceX Transporter - 10!

Amazing work by our entire team over the last few years to get to this milestone.

Thanks to all our partners and customers for your support on this journey. We are very grateful.

Slim Lander, you Beauty!

[小型月着陸実証機SLIM @SLIM_JAXA]

Last night, a command was sent to #SLIM and a response received, confirming that the spacecraft has made it through the lunar night and maintained communication capabilities! 🌝🛰 #GoodAfterMoon #JAXA

[NASA @NASA]

Your order was delivered… to the Moon! 📦

@Int_Machines' uncrewed lunar lander landed at 6:23pm ET (2323 UTC), bringing NASA science to the Moon's surface. These instruments will prepare us for future human exploration of the Moon under #Artemis.

🚀 Exciting news from our Countdown to Optimus Launch Campaign! 🚀

After an incredible 20,000+ km journey, Optimus 🛰️ has landed in California!!

[小型月着陸実証機SLIM @SLIM_JAXA]

Communication with SLIM was successfully established last night, and operations resumed! Science observations were immediately started with the MBC, and we obtained first light for the 10-band observation. This figure shows the “toy poodle” observed in the multi-band observation.

NASA's historic Ingenuity Helicopter has taken its last flight on Mars. After 72 incredible flights, that remarkable helicopter flew farther and higher than we ever thought possible. #ThanksIngenuity
