What Happened

Startup Develops Recoverable Spacecraft For Microgravity Research

Reditus Space, a startup developing recoverable and reusable spacecraft, has completed its first vehicle, ENOS, a 200-kilogram reentry vehicle scheduled to launch later this year on a SpaceX rideshare mission. ENOS will spend two months in orbit before reentering and splashing down off the coast of Florida. The company’s approach creates a singular system where more than 80% of the mass of the actual system makes its way back down to Earth, allowing for the recovery and reuse of the spacecraft. This was first reported by SpaceNews.
