At the heart of future rocket engines lifting off to the Moon or Mars could be a 3D printed combustion chamber. A multitude of our centers partnered with @Virgin_Orbit to develop & test this uniquely manufactured rocket part.

As our aspirations for space grow more ambitious, so too must the ways we build our spacecraft! So we partnered with @NASA_Marshall to study how 3-D printing can be used to build next-gen rocket parts at a fraction of the cost and lead time. Read more: virg.in/NASA-ACO pic.twitter.com/IdVuB1sIEu

This aircraft was actually designed to carry extra weight there (it's called the 5th engine pod). But yes, we also have some clever techniques — like using the fuel as ballast — to keep everything balanced.

These taxi tests went really, really well. At 40, 70, and even 100 knots with a rejected takeoff, slosh and loads data were well within limits, and our chief test pilot reported Cosmic Girl handled like a dream. Onward and upward! ✈️

We’ve now kicked off the final phase of our test flight campaign, completing our 1st taxis with a heavy LauncherOne! As this test series progresses, we’ll take to the skies again, flying higher & faster, before the drop test grand finale. pic.twitter.com/CmiFYzEcFF

We love smallsats of all shapes and sizes. That’s why LauncherOne has the largest fairing for its class so that we can fly payloads in all sorts of cozy configurations. Find us at #SATELLITE2019 to learn more about how you can optimize your constellation with LauncherOne. pic.twitter.com/1zcxFI2jvF

And this is just the beginning. Low cost access to launch is the key to opening the door to applications we haven’t even yet considered. That’s really our number one goal: maximizing humankind’s utilization of space for the good of our planet and everyone on it. (6/6)

All that glitters isn’t gold—but it might be palladium or another rare mineral! With the help of @LunaSonde, mining companies can easily locate pockets of precious metals and other resources below the Earth’s surface, while also reducing the financial & environmental cost. (4/6)
