LΛUNCHER(@launcher):The team continues to rack up test time as another E-2 Block 1 mission duty cycle, featuring continuous rapid gimbaling, is now in the books. As the E-2 program approaches 10,000 seconds of cumulative run time, testing continues to characterize engine life and further improve reliability. Up next the team plans to increase gimbal rates, conduct frequency sweeps, and test an alternative fuel aimed at increasing performance while reducing cost.
