Teams recently completed build and acceptance testing of our 1,000th Merlin 1D engine for Falcon’s first stage! With Falcon’s reusability, recovering these engines has enabled continued reliability enhancements, making Merlin one of the most reliable rocket engines ever manufactured
Endurance testing continues! We completed a shock test last week, introducing our MK1 lunar lander to the environment generated when it separates from New Glenn.
21 accelerometers were positioned around the vehicle to characterize the shock response. All components exceeded survivability requirements during the test.
Next up: Full vehicle separation testing.
We're not rebuilding the same pad for New Glenn. We're moving to a horizontal/vertical hybrid configuration to get us flying again this year at 36A. We were already working on something similar for 9x4 at 36B. Let me explain what that means. We mate the stages horizontally in the Integration Facility (IF). Then we bring the integrated vehicle out to the pad, use a crane to perform the vertical breakover, and mate the payload once New Glenn is vertical. This new ConOps has the added benefit of increasing our flight cadence as well.

Today’s mission includes a demo of a new vehicle that will enable affordable, routine access to the microgravity environment for scientific research and in-space manufacturing. After demonstrating controlled flight, the spacecraft will splash down in the Pacific Ocean
Continuous sunlight is scarce on the Moon unless you know where to look. 🌑
The lunar poles contain "peaks of eternal light," areas bathed in near-continuous sunlight. Power Tower mounts on Blue Moon MK1's top deck and extends solar arrays to 26 meters total height to capture that energy and deliver sustained power for Moon Base operations.
Check out this video of Power Tower during a successful deployment in an analog lunar environment.
The infrastructure era of lunar exploration starts now.

Planetary defense is a pressing challenge in space. Here's how Blue Ring is solving it. We developed NEO (Near-Earth Objects) Hunter, a mission concept that tests ion-beam deflection and direct kinetic impact techniques, leveraging Blue Ring's unique ability to maneuver, host, and deploy payloads across deep space.
@ExequielNLuna Che terrible amigo. Una cosa rara con los ojos negros no se que mierda es eso. Un tipo invisble o que posee gente no se entiende. Hulk porque pinto y necesitan cameos de avengers cuando estaba bueno. Zendaya sigue siendo relevante ??? Ya esta amigo pasaron 15 años soltala
