We’ve stacked the aft and forward propulsion modules of the Blue Ring Flight Vehicle 1 into the Propulsion Integration Tool, or PIT, which guides the modules during installation and holds them in a final vehicle configuration. Up next: inter-module welding and acceptance testing, followed by integration with the primary flight structure.
