Finally, our space capsule Tycho Deep Space named Beautiful Betty is all checked out and released for transportation heading for Space Port Nexoe.

The LES engine is also done and passed the hydrostatic pressure test last night.

Friday is going to be the big day of preparations and check out. However, we might begin placing the capsule on launch platform Sputnik Thursday making final adjustment of the four launch legs holding the entire system. When this is done and rocket fueling has taken place Friday the entire system will be stacked using a mobile crane.

I am looking forward to this sight!!

Stay tuned for blog updates and live launch feeds Saturday.
