Configuration concept drawings of the electric/chemical hybrid engine arrays for the Ascender orbital airship. We’re projecting eight arrays of four.
Next on Deck: Ascender Ellipse. This is the first Ascender airship with an elliptical cross section & an all air beam internal structure. It’s just a little one, 26 ft long. It’s for low altitude structural tests. The Ellipse is 70% complete. We hope to fly before years end.
We’re starting to replace the hand made boards on Bellavia (our sub) with PCB’s This one just came in today. It’s the sensor breakout board. It connects an Arduino computer to a whole set of sensors. Kudos to Chris for a great job on board design.
