While Blue Origin is finishing up the first stage for the launch of NASA's EscaPADE mission, they've already rolled out the second stage for Flight 3 for a static fire! This flight will launch Firefly's Elytra Mission 1 spacetug, and is expected late this year or early next year.

Making good progress on the Republic Space Tug. I'm pretty sure I have all the pieces in place save the window frames and maybe some greebles. No idea how I'm going to refine it, but it should be easier than the Gozanti since its limited footage should give me a lot more leeway!

#SpaceTug (remorqueurs spatiaux), en cours d'étude, ces robots de maintenance, réparation et nettoyage doivent permettre de rallonger la durée de vie des satellites déjà présents, les réparer et évacuer les débris. (cf ce #Thread sur les débris spatiaux)
