Satisfying arrangement, courtesy of yours truly. Can’t get over the fact I get the chance to interact with actual flight hardware every day!

Right now it is just a lot of tiny shiny pieces. Soon, these parts will be assembled into the main #cryogenic #valves for our 10 flight engines. These valves are used to control the propellant flow to each engine. They are the cardiac valves for the heart of our launch vehicle.

So proud of what the team has put together:) Get ready for some awesome launch footage... #hotnozzlesummer is coming to Scotland!

Endeavour’s largest technical team, Darwin, are developing advanced sounding rockets within Edinburgh 🚀. Our two vehicles under construction, DI & DII, will fly to 3km and 9km respectively, gathering data on our atmosphere with the onboard particle detector 🛰️

As an homage to the two innovative bicycle makers from Dayton, this first of many airfields on other worlds will now be known as Wright Brothers Field, in recognition of the ingenuity and innovation that continue to propel exploration. #MarsHelicopter
