In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on Mission 3 and how the lessons learned from Odin are shaping the design of our next-generation spacecraft, Vestri. We’ll break down Mission and Spacecraft Level Requirements, dive into how we’re engineering critical subsystems, and unpack the early decisions that will define the success of this mission. As a bonus, we open up the supporter mailbag to answer questions. Tune in for the the early days of spacecraft design and a little bit of chaos as Matt takes transparency too far and doxes Robyn.Â
