While all eyes and hands are on the preparations for our first launch, work on the next generation of RFA ONE is already moving ahead in the background: the RFA ONE Block 2. The largest component of the future Block 2, the first stage tank, was recently completed by our supplier ZEPPELIN and delivered to us. With its larger dimensions and increased propellant volume, it allows us to make full use of the double thrust of our next-generation Helix 2.0 engine cluster. At the same time, it marks our first concrete step toward recovery and reusability. And of course, it's another milestone within ESA's European Launcher Challenge (ELC). Development never sleeps. More to come. We'll keep you posted.
