RealKerbal3x Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Yay, they'll be ready to compete with Falcon 9 after it's been retired! Also, that contract is absurdly small for what it does. €33 million is ~$40 million, or less than the cost of a single Falcon 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) The linked page says there will be an engine test, so even if a pathfinder of a sort, it is functional. Edited January 4, 2022 by tater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
