The five vehicle we’re flying on the next mission are under final construction. The main systems are all complete and it’s down to the long list of little things. Saturday the team really went to town. We had a list of eight things that had to get done. At the end of the day all eight were lined off and three scheduled for next Wednesday were also cranked out.
These five will be covering a whole range of objectives from new tech to working out bugs for the Tandem mission this summer. The plan is to launch the first four at 45 minute intervals. That will be the most vehicles we’ve managed in the air at once. Mission control will have their hands full with this one. The fifth vehicle we’re going to fly the next day.
