Technology / Launch infrastructure
Test on the ground. Learn for flight. TB30 is the launch table that holds Starlight in place for engine tests and releases it for launch. We build it to match the vehicle’s restraints, cooling and control systems.
Overview
The launch table combines engine testing, thrust measurement, vehicle restraints, and launch rehearsals.
