What moves you? We asked our team in Morocco and, for many, it's a desire to innovate and to see their work come to fruition. Their responses demonstrate our collective passion to create, to invent, to build, and to move the world forward. #buildingwhatmovesyou #innovation #invention #mission

At Spirit, we’re building what moves you. We bring innovative solutions to build at an unparalleled scale and complexity – and it’s the dedication of every person on our team who make it possible. On this U.S. Manufacturing Day, we’re looking at what our U.S. teams have done or do every day to move the world: In Biddeford, our team developed the sample return heatshield for the Osiris-REx mission. It is engineered to protect the sample return capsule from the 4,000°F temperature resulting from the 27,000 mile per hour Earth atmospheric entry. 🛡️🌍 In Dallas, our aftermarket team services all major North American carriers, completing more than 1,500 repairs a year. 🔧🛫 In Kinston, our strategic location and our logistics team allows products to be delivered by land, air, or sea. 🌎✈️🚚🚢 In Tulsa, our agile team has worked on a large variety of programs since the 1940s; featuring a strong background in commercial, defense, and even space – having worked on the Saturn II and Space Shuttle. 🚀🛰️ In Wichita, our logistics team delivers an average of 47,000 parts an hour to our manufacturing team. 📦⏰ In Woonsocket, an “MSR” weaving loom was custom-designed and built to support fabrication of the heat shield for the Earth Entry Vehicle (EEV) on NASA’s Mars Sample Return (MSR) program. The MSR loom set-up includes over 3,000 miles of fiber wound onto over 40,000 individual spools. 🧵 Let's celebrate #ManufacturingDay by recognizing the commitment and innovative spirit of our teams across the country. #Innovation #Manufacturing #Teamwork #USA
