Fusion Space is targeting Monday, November 15th at 16:30 GMT for the second demonstration launch of Fusion Two Renewed edition from Pad 01B at the National Space Center. The vehicle will not be carrying a payload on this flight but the first stage booster (FB2008.0) will attempt a powered landing at a targeted splashdown site one just east of the launch pad. We’ll also be attempting multiple re-lights of the Aeolus 2 engine on the second stage.
We are flying an additional demonstration mission due to the incident that occurred during the last flight.
