#Falcon1 failed three times before tasting success. #Spectrum is somewhat larger and more capable than Falcon 1, with performance in line with #Firefly's Alpha rocket.

The fully assembled Spectrum rocket stands about 28 meters 📏 tall and measures more than 2 meters in diameter. The expendable launcher is designed to haul payloads up to 1 metric ton (2,200 pounds) into #LEO arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/

Lunar 🌙 dust is often angular, sticky and #sharp. “We’ll be looking at how dust adheres to various materials. We’re taking stereo imaging as we descend to the surface to see how the rocket plume is affecting the lunar #regolith.
