The team got a lot done today. We completed the submarine hull test section, tested-reworked-tested again the valves, sensors & attachment ports for the Ellipse airship air beams, & did submergence tests on the subs external electronic boxes along with a dozen other little things.
We’ve been experimenting on a new variant of fractional distillation. The initial result look promising.
The gang lifted the sub today & changed out the carts underneath for solid blocks of wood. We getting ready to “weight up” the sub. We’re adding 800lbs to reach dive weight. We didn’t want to do this till near completion. The hull is easier to handle without it, but it’s time.
Our 200th mission flew to 102,900 feet. It landed 9 miles downrange and was recovered the same day.
We’ve made a breakthrough in our MHD engine program!
Here’s a new video talking all about it.
