This test exceeded NASA's Factor of Safety recommendations, demonstrating a safety factor greater than 16x in LEO and 23x in lunar environments. Our team continues to lead in the development of expandable structures as we build the world's first commercial space station.

Beautiful! Amazing technology too. Well done! Also thinking that if you reach out to the Slowmo Guys to film the next test. I feel like you'd get some good press and some even more amazing imagery.

How large of one could fit inside let’s say a 9 meter in diameter rocket.

Outstanding to see the continuous progress! Any idea when we get to see an orbital test?

The best solution would be to use an epoxy and reuse the mold for cloning.

A louder rumble in Rocket City! We just completed our first BE-4 engine hotfire test at the historic Test Stand 4670 in Huntsville. We also continue to test BE-4 engines at our Texas facility. The BE-4 engine produces 550,000 pounds of thrust and is our most powerful engine yet.

Last week at NASA's Johnson Space Center I participated in part 1 of a 2 part glovebox test assessing different spacesuit pressures and how they might affect our dexterity and ability to accomplish tasks on the Moon for future NASA Artemis missions. This was a blind test, so I didn’t know if this was the pressure that I’m used to from my experience in the spacesuit (4.3 psi) or a higher pressure …. felt pretty similar to me but we’ll see how it compares to tomorrow’s test!

🔥🚨He took one for the team so our summer nights can be completely bite-free. Repel 100 definitely passed the ultimate stress test with a 10/10.

Space Perspective has successfully completed a historic flight demonstration of Spaceship Neptune-Excelsior, the fully-operational test vehicle that will take Explorers to space. Around sunrise on Sunday, it launched from the deck of Marine Spaceport (MS) Voyager, propelled by our SpaceBalloon™ to ~100,000 feet (~30 km). Over the course of several hours, our engineering teams monitored and controlled the capsule, eventually bringing it down through a controlled descent and splashdown. This flight tested a multitude of systems, including launch & ascent through our patented launch system aboard MS Voyager, cabin pressure and stability at peak altitude aboard the capsule, our Environmental Control and Life Support systems, and all aspects of our SpaceBalloon™, including the material performance and our patent pending venting mechanisms. We also tested capsule communications with Mission Control and Voyager. While these are just a few of the many complex systems, the entire flight profile was successfully executed and all systems operated nominally. The data received will be analyzed and applied to future flights and iterations of the capsule as we prepare for additional uncrewed flights, and crewed test flights in the future. #spaceperspective #overvieweffect #space #milestone #launch #engineering #design #safety #luxury #travel #innovation

It’s been a busy week! We sent supplies and science to the International Space Station, highlighted our progress in fighting cancer, and prepared to test hardware for an even more powerful version of our ARCHIVED: NASA_SLS rocket for future #Artemis missions.

Haven Demo build and test are complete, and it is now undergoing final integration for launch. Meanwhile, we’re moving toward critical systems testing and continuing to build momentum on Haven-1 flight hardware. Haven-1’s primary structure qualification article has successfully completed its test campaign at our Mojave, CA facility, while the flight structure has been fully welded and is being prepared for pressure testing. Designed, manufactured, and tested in-house in the 🇺🇸.

We did it! catalyx space has successfully completed our capsule drop and landing test from 16,000 ft in Nevada. Our re-entry capsule, Rex, nailed the landing, proving our critical subsystems. It was fully vertically manufactured. Next up: on-orbit demo in next 12 months. Watch Rex in action 👇🚀

E-2 has successfully demonstrated a full mission duty cycle with margin, completing a 201 sec run at our Mojave, CA test site. Multiple 200+ sec test fires have now been completed, proving performance and reliability across engine builds. As the highest performance LOX/kerosene engine in the small launch class, E-2 is designed to maximize your payload capacity and unlock more value from every mission to orbit.

How do we test how the human body reacts to pressure changes in space? 👀 We engineer low pressures on Earth! At JSC, volunteers can live & work in a specialized low-pressure chamber while scientists track their health. This helps NASA design protocols for future missions.

2025 marked a major step forward for Starlab Space! From advancing our design and technology to strengthening partnerships across the global space community, each milestone moved us closer to a full capability commercial space station in low Earth orbit. We’re proud of what we built together this year, and even more excited for what’s ahead.

E-2’s first 90-second test fire was a success! It performed at 55% power with a low conservative 1.6 mixture ratio as planned. The hardware appears in perfect condition ready for more tests. This is an exceptional result for a first test article (E-2 SN1). The test was also a key milestone for our US Space Force TACFI contract. We’ve wrapped up this test campaign and will be back in January with an updated injector featuring lower LOX passage pressure drop to allow us to increase the LOX mass flow and in turn reach full thrust and high performance O/F mixture ratio of 2.62. We thank our team and partners for making this possible - especially Stennis Space Center and their team. We would also like to thank the @SpaceForceDoD for their TACFI contract support.
