RONeutron testing continues at our Space Structures Complex in Middle River with the interstage on the test stand ready for its qualification campaign. We’re running a series of static load tests and applying ~1,000 tonnes of force to simulate flight loads on the way to orbit.
Neutron’s interstage has to withstand not only the rigors of launch, but also re-entry as it remains attached to the vehicle’s first stage and Hungry Hippo fairing, landing back on Earth as one integrated structure ready for the next launch.
