Astron helps lunar lander company Instinct Space with rocket engine tests
By Astron Systems
Astron's test site has been busy, helping YC backed lunar lander company Instinct Space with testing of their "Dodo-α" HTP-Kerosene bipropellant rocket engine.
We're excited to continue helping Instinct with future engine tests of Dodo and their monopropellant HTP thrusters, and look forward to seeing them one day flying in orbit!
