@NASA and the @NASAArmstrong Flight Research Center published a highlight of our successful RED-4U capsule flight test. This test brings frequent, on-demand bring cargo return from low Earth orbit a step closer. ow.ly/1JZ150GIUmb #spaceindustry ow.ly/vVmf50GIUeM

Our RED-4U prototype capsule brought home an educational payload from @GeorgiaTech students: their Sensor Telemetry Rig and Trial Operation System (STRATOS) which captured real-time flight data. @GTaerospace ae.gatech.edu/ #georgiatech #aerospaceengineering

As @iafastro #IAC2021 wraps up today, we took note of "Building the Infrastructure of Space: Small Launch to Connectivity". Our commitment to that goal has been rewarded with a patent on FuseBlox™, our spacecraft docking and connection device. ow.ly/3pOr50GBmK0

Hypersonic flight is moving forward! @generationorbit (GO, a SpaceWorks company) and @AFResearchLab staff met at our GO offices in Atlanta on October 15th to review our progress on the X-60C. #hypersonic #flighttest #GOBoldly

SpaceWorks tested an on-demand, cost efficient transport from near space. Our RED-4U capsule landed softly from a guided parafoil to within 100 yards of its intended target. Thanks @EarthlyDynamics and Aerial Delivery Solutions. Follow our mission here ow.ly/Y5X950GwuiF.

In a month punctuated by World Space Week and its theme "Women in Space", the SpaceWorks STEM Student Engagement Program visited the Atlanta Girls'​ School and discussed how rockets work, careers in space, and women in aerospace. @AGSHurricanes #stemeducation #stemcareers

Today we successfully soft-landed our RED-4U capsule from near space to within a football field of our target, with our new guided parafoil! ow.ly/IUPq50GubJ5 Thanks to @NASA Flight Opportunities Program, partners @EarthlyDynamics, Aerial Delivery Solutions #space

After a successful comprehensive systems test in Sep (see below), SpaceWorks® Suborbital Test Vehicle 2 (STV-2) moves to a high altitude balloon release test from our RED Capsule in Oct at @NearSpaceCorp test facilities in Madras, Oregon. Follow our journey! #spaceeconomy #nasa

Late Oct, the SpaceWorks® Suborbital Test Vehicle 2 Mission will be put to the test. Watch a preflight conversation discussing the mission, with @NASA, @JanetsPlanet, @EnterpriseSat. #spaceeconomy. ow.ly/C7Ou50GslhI

In observation of @WorldSpaceWeek, SpaceWorks visited the @universityofga Small Satellite Research Laboratory and met with students, led by Dr. Deepak Mishra, SSRL's director. (smallsat.uga.edu/) #spaceindustry #spacecareers #spacejobs #spaceweek

How often do students try their experiments from 100,000 feet? Two #science experiments (thanks @JanetsPlanet & @EnterpriseSat) will board our RED capsule, part of a cost-efficient system to bring cargo, experiments and data back from space. @NASA spaceworks.aero/suborbital-t…

Working with @AFResearchLab, SpaceWorks® is testing FuseBlox™, our patented rendezvous and docking connector hardware technology that could revolutionize how future space stations, satellites, and space telescopes are built. @usairforce @SpaceForceDoD #space #spaceindustry

SpaceWorks® concluded Performance Testing for its patented connector technology FuseBlox™ at the @AFResearchLab. FuseBlox performed well. Mission accomplished! Groundwork laid for a universal device to connect equipment in space! #space ow.ly/wimr50Gkk6V

SpaceWorks® patented FuseBlox™ connector was subjected to a Temperature Cycle test to see how it held up to temperatures from -40 F to 203 F and a Vibration test to simulate the stress of a rocket launch. Technology developed with @AFResearchLab #space

Working through the @NASA Flight Opportunities Program, SpaceWorks is developing an orbital delivery system via its Reentry Device (RED) capsules. @universetoday has more here. #space ow.ly/2LEa50Gid8S
