Barracuda is in orbit. Later this week, we will launch CSS-3 and the Oasis Module to the Commercial Space Station and Barracuda will dock to it a day later. Barracuda is expected to return on June 7th.
Flying on June 22nd, the Oasis Crew Module made by us and @strato_systems will fly to the Commercial Space Station with the CSS-3 Multi Hub Docking Adapter made by @FusionSpace2023
We welcome Kuiper Space to the CSS project!
CSS-3 will provide greater access for commercial partners, expanding the number of available docking ports to five! The module will launch on a Kuiper Space built Horizon rocket on June 22nd.
History has been made today as on our very first attempt, a Helios lander launched about @kuiperaerospace ‘s Horizon has flawlessly soft landed near luna’s North Pole! Over its 3 month mission, Helios will conduct many experiments on the surface before shutting down in September.
Horizon is on the pad preparing to launch our very first Helios lander to luna. The goal of this lander is to scout out potential crewed landing sites and conduct tests to verify the practicality of In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) on the surface of Luna.
