Ellington Airport (EFD) received zero discrepancies during its annual FAA Part 139 inspections.
EFD, home to the Houston Spaceport and multiple military, NASA and general aviation operations, has achieved a perfect inspection record for 20 consecutive years! 🙌

"A world first."
Houston-built. Hypersonic future in motion.
Our RDRE engine flew—and proved what’s possible.

From Houston to the 🌕! @Int_Machines has its lunar lander orbiting the moon and is gearing up to send lunar selfies before the historic landing attempt. #Athena
3 Mar 2025
Athena completed her scheduled 492-second main engine Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) burn at 6:27 a.m. CST on March 3 and is currently orbiting the Moon. Over the next several hours, flight controllers plan to analyze data to verify the lander’s targeted circular orbit and confirm Athena’s expected landing time.
Athena continues to be in excellent health and is expected to send lunar orbit selfies over the next two days before a landing attempt on March 6.
