Big win today on the Blue Ghost front: All 8 thrusters are qualified, acceptance tested and fit checked on the lander! During Blue Ghost Mission 1, these Reaction Control System thrusters, called Spectre, will help maintain the lander’s orientation during maneuvers and independently perform the final descent, throttling as needed for a soft landing on the Moon. Stay tuned for more updates as we get ready to ship Blue Ghost for final environmental testing before launching later this year.
Looks awesome! Can’t wait to see Spectre in action.
Looking forward to seeing your team successfully complete that soft landing soon!
Let’s go! 🚀🚀🚀
The electrical design is 💯
Well done Firefly Aerospace!
Beautiful-looking parts. Is it safe to say they were produced additively?
Good stuff Eric, you and the team should be proud. More to come!!
So exciting. You guys are moving so fast!
