📣 Aeon R Mission Duty Cycle complete. Last night at NASA Stennis Space Center #AeonR burned in a flight-like configuration for 143 seconds at 70% power – marking a record-breaking pace for engine development and a very speedy 48-hour turnaround from Aeon R's first ever hot fires to successfully completing a full flight duration burn.

Less than 2 days Aeon Rs first hot fires ➡️ Full MDC
Less than 3 months ➡️ Powerpack install, testing, conversion to full engine, hot fires
Less 1 year empty land ➡️ dual-bay vertical engine test stand
≤ 2 years ➡️ 1,000+ Aeon R component level tests

This key engine development milestone validates the design, including our novel, additively manufactured Thrust Chamber Assembly (TCA), providing us with data to anchor our performance models.
