LC-16 is rapidly evolving into the operational hub for Terran R launch, recovery, and reuse. ✓ Transporter-erector strongback delivered and undergoing outfitting  ✓ Water tower raised to 180 ft with continued lifting underway  ✓ Two 246,000-gallon LNG tanks installed to provide densified propellant for the stages Join the Florida team: https://lnkd.in/gPAMUM-R 

Test campaigns and infrastructure are scaling alongside hardware production. 📍 NASA Stennis  ✔️ Aeon V second stage engine testing, including a 526.5-second endurance demonstration   ✔️ Aeon R first stage engine acceptance testing continues   ✔️ Hangar roof structure completed with sheeting installation underway   ✔️ Live ring lift installation complete   ✔️ Fluid lines being machined and routed   ✔️ Flume work progressing with new service platforms delivered Join the team: Senior Propulsion Test Engineer https://bit.ly/4cmKidX Propulsion Test Engineer II https://bit.ly/3MAQdlm Propulsion Test Technician I https://bit.ly/3OE6w1M Quality Inspector II https://bit.ly/4tPmZPE  

Terran R build is advancing across the vehicle and scaling for future flights. ✓ Stage 2 tank mechanical assembly complete with LOX lid, thrust cone, and headband installed  ✓ Stage 2 HITL avionics boxes ready, enabling pre-installation verification and software testing  ✓ Stage 1 downcomer fully welded and began acceptance testing  ✓ Thrust structure internal trays installed; leak check completed on outer ring  ✓ Second CFSW installed and HFSW producing stringer to panel sub-weldments for future flights We’re scaling manufacturing across structures, propulsion, integration and more: https://lnkd.in/gPAMUM-R

In March, we sprang forward across the factory floor, test stand, and launch pad.    🏗️ Build: Stage 1 downcomer fully welded and began acceptance testing, while stage 2 tank integration nears completion with the LOX lid, thrust cone, and headband installed  🔥 Test: Aeon V completed a 526.5-second endurance demonstration as Aeon R acceptance testing continues at NASA Stennis  🌴 Launch: At LC-16, rails between the HIF and pad have been installed, LNG tanks delivered, and the water tower rose    Watch the full March program update: https://lnkd.in/gxUTgq3b

At Launch Complex 16, Terran R infrastructure continues to take shape.    🔹 Launch mount and transporter-erector upper strongback arrived on-site.  🔹 Insulation and siding progressing on the horizontal integration facility.  🔹 Lightning protection system piles installed 98 ft underground.    Launching Terran R requires a full ecosystem across engineering, infrastructure, and operations.    https://lnkd.in/eEPqMbY  

Terran R testing continues to scale alongside engine production and new infrastructure.    🔥 Acceptance testing of Aeon R flight engines continues at NASA Stennis Space Center with testing of the Aeon V second stage engine progressing in parallel.
  🏗️ On the A2 stage test stand, the live ring was lifted into place and flume construction advanced ahead of diverter installation.
  🏗️ Framing for the nearby hangar is now complete.    Watch the latest update: https://lnkd.in/gVXp_bQU 

On the factory floor, Terran R vehicle integration continues to advance.    ✅ Second stage harnesses and raceway covers built.  ✅ COPV leak test completed and common dome baffle installation underway.  ✅ First stage tank integration progressing with weld buy-offs, instrumentation bracket installs, and machining.  ✅ Aeon V and Aeon R engines manufactured, assembled, and shipped.     We’re growing fast.
