Along with the sketch of Tandem HL, this is great stuff! Are you currently building one or both? Which one will be launching next?
DSS 3 is under construction, Pictures soon
DSS HL is further down the road.
DSS3 didn’t get suddenly smaller, the 64 foot number was the result of JP typing while tired… 36 feet is the real diameter.
What technologies will you be testing with DSS3? From the diagram it looks like you’ll be able to do helium redistribution.
Hi and thanks for taking the time to explain the terminlogy for the newbies!
Steve, we will indeed be testing with the DSS 3 helium redistribution and rudimentary attitude control.
