How do you ensure a spacecraft will survive the trip to space? With careful testing, of course. JPL is home to the Environmental Test Laboratory, where robotic spacecraft are subjected to powerful jolts, rattling, high-decibel blasts of sound, and frigid and scorching temperatures. The latest subject for some of these tests is a full-scale model of Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 2. After additional testing, the flight hardware will head to the Moon’s far side next year. | NASA Jet Propul
