From design schematics to bench testing to install to POWER ON. Avionics is the nervous system of a spaceship. Thousands of sensors. 12 miles of wiring. A constant stream of data, turned into information our pilots can trust. Without it, the vehicle is a structure. With it, it's alive.

Good vibrations only. 🛠️ Aeroelasticity Engineer II Ana Predescu takes us inside ground vibration testing on Spaceship. Our engineers suspended the vehicle on soft bungees to simulate flight, shook it with electrodynamic shakers and captured every response with 150+ sensors. The result? A successful test with high-quality data gathered. Another key milestone on the road to flight.

We showed you the lower. We showed you the upper. Now watch them become one. SpaceShip’s fuselage is mated. Crew station locked in. Cabin floor set. The aft fuselage is already building behind it. Next, this ship will meet its wings and feather. Momentum is everything.
