Vector Space Moves Forward on Manufacturing, Testing
Another @vectorspacesys first stage engine test success last week @ AZ Test Site. Using @NASA designed/produced 3D printed injectors we are hitting performance targets with unique pressure fed propylene/LOX engines begun under Garvey Spacecraft in 2005 https://t.co/qjT7tX7sdT pic.twitter.com/FlHF1QEceY

Progress continues @vectorspacesys where our 1st & 2nd Stage dev units are being assembled. You can see our carbon fiber filament wound tanks (developed by Tom DeLay & NASA in 2005) using low cost fab technique differing from conventional autoclave units https://t.co/bz5D7zLgZ1 pic.twitter.com/ZAjrPviusI

Is this actual orbital flight hardware? The last couple Vector launches were mostly mock-ups.
