Archimedes second stage engine full duration burn - complete ✅ (and what a thing of beauty).
The AVac (Archimedes Vacuum) engine produces 1.2x lbf of its Stage 1 variant and stands ~2.5m taller thanks to its extended nozzle optimized for the vacuum conditions of space.
Recent AVac testing included a stub skirt for the nozzle. Since full length vacuum nozzles at ground level risk flow separation and instability, stub skirts are used to anchor our engineers' analysis for how the engine will perform with the full nozzle in vacuum conditions - all critical preparation for Neutron's first flight.
Merlin recently completed the Critical Design Review for its C-130J autonomy program with USSOCOM.
The C-130J is an important test bed for autonomy. It has a long history in the US and around the world.
Erin Staine-Pyne, Merlin's General Manager of Mobility, spent 27 years in the Air Force flying the C-130 and C-17, and she just wrote about its past, present and future.
