Isn’t it beautiful!? Say hello to our first complete Archimedes engine.
It’s already out the door of our Engine Development Complex in Long Beach and installed on the test stand in Mississippi at @NASAStennis ready for first hot fire.

While Archimedes prepares to breathe fire, the Neutron structures team has been kicking goals too.
The first Neutron fairing panels are complete, with the full set scheduled for completion in the coming weeks.
We’ve completed an assembly test-run for Neutron’s Stage 2 internal tank structures. Next step: final assembly, lamination and integration in flight configuration.

I’m always excited to see some Neutron progress!
Nice pictures.
I don’t use other social media, I likely miss a bunch of cool stuff like this.

Really puts into perspective how much larger Neutron will be than Electron.
Wow, that is significant.
