Inside Our Factory: A new parachute system is now installed on the #Starliner spacecraft that will soon perform our Crew Flight Test. This upgraded design improves the system's soft links, reinforces its main parachute suspension, and strengthens its radial line.

Thrilled to stop by a hidden gem in Santa Ana this weekend—Airborne Systems, our community's gateway to space innovation. They support over 400 jobs here, and develop parachute systems used by NASA and the military, including the historic NASA Mars Perseverance landing!

Our Photon spacecraft is humming along nicely in orbit for @VardaSpace! We're excited to support this innovative approach to in-space manufacturing.
The world's first space factory is flying great. We're hoping to begin pharmaceutical production next week! (Photo is from about 45 days ago when we first installed W-Series 1 onto the ESPA ring)

"We are all part of something incredibly special - the first launch of #Artemis." Join us as we look back at the @NASAArtemis I mission that began with the launch of #NASASLS and ended with the splashdown of @NASA_Orion. Check out our next mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii

Airborne is proud to have built the LOFTID inflatable structure for @NASA & @ulalaunch We're excited for the future of this technology!
“UFO” was a good guess, but this is actually the revolutionary LOFTID inflatable hypersonic heat shield demo. (No, the outboard skiff is not a new ultra low cost commercial recovery concept. We’ll stick with the ship and crane conops)… ;)
