The company launched Mission Possible, a test of a reentry capsule, on SpaceX’s Transporter-14 mission in June.
The Mission Possible reentry was tracked by NASA’s Scientifically Calibrated In-Flight Imagery, or SCIFLI, project, which has monitored many spacecraft reentries.
She noted that The Exploration Company developed Mission Possible in two years for 35 million euros ($41 million), a small fraction of the time and expense of other European reentry demonstrator programs.
Nothing observed from Mission Possible, including the parachute failure, has altered those plans.
She added the company has not ruled out another test flight before the 2028 Nyx mission.
