We talk Navigation for Terran R with GNC and Performance Director, Don Nguyen.? ?? ?? Did you know that the gyroscopes are precise enough to measure Earth's rotation using a technique called gyrocompassing? This allows Terran R to determine true north, even while stationary on the launch pad. ? https://lnkd.in/gMXECHeK ?

? We’re proud to be named as one of Fast Company’s 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators!? ? A big congratulations to all our team members across the country—from manufacturing Terran R in Long Beach, CA, to hot fires in Stennis, MS, and preparing to launch from Cape Canaveral, FL. We’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible every day.? ? https://lnkd.in/dJJEm8K4? #FCBestWorkplaces?

Build update: It's been one year since we announced the historic A2 test stand as the home for stage testing of Terran R, and the transformation is well underway. New propellant farms are currently beginning to take shape.? ? Swipe to see the end goal. ???

Applications for our 2025 Spring and Summer internships are now open!? ? Meet Saumya S., who successfully transitioned from intern to full-time team member on our Guidance, Navigation, and Control team.? ? ?? https://lnkd.in/dXkAYQAA??

At our core, we're a customer-centric rocket company. But what does that really mean? It means that, from day one, we engineered Terran R with the “just right” goldilocks combination of payload capacity, launch frequency, and mass-to-orbit efficiency. Designed to meet real customer needs for LEO and beyond, Terran R isn't just another rocket—it's the solution the market has been waiting for.? ? ?? Industry analysts predict that over 20,000 satellites will need to reach space by 2030, and they’ll need a ride. With most payloads consisting of a dozen or more satellites, each with masses up to 1000kg, Terran R steps in with the capability to launch up to 23,500kg into orbit.? ? ?? https://bit.ly/TerranR?

Welcome to the MET Lab. We’re going behind the scenes of tensile coupon testing with materials engineer Mikaila Risser. This is one of the first tests in a component's journey, ensuring quality of materials used in production and helping set the foundation for success in our manufacturing process.

We’re going back to the whiteboard with Director of GNC and Performance, Don Nguyen, as he breaks down Guidance in Terran R’s launch, ascent, and reentry. Want to help get Terran R to orbit and back? The team is hiring.? ?? https://bit.ly/3MBZkPj ?? https://bit.ly/3yTzumr ???https://bit.ly/3SYSYge

We had the pleasure of hosting Congressman Robert Garcia and his staff at our Long Beach headquarters, right in the heart of #SpaceBeach. We proudly shared a glimpse of Terran R's progress and the factory floor that will bring it to life. Thank you for your support and for stopping by!??

The Aeon R main injector has undergone 14 design, print, and test iterations—something nearly impossible with traditional manufacturing methods that involve thousands of precision components. Going from a clean sheet design to testing in just three months – each iteration improves performance and reliability.? Join the team: https://lnkd.in/gvMmUin5??

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to help build rockets—hear us out. Our Senior Manager of Recruiting Reuven Valery Fridmar shares what we look for in candidates and the diverse backgrounds they come from, ranging from agriculture to electric vehicles, aviation, consulting, and architecture. It takes a wide range of skills to build, test, and launch a rocket.? ? ?? Build Terran R: https://lnkd.in/gvMmUin5?
