Gilmour Space's Eris orbital launch vehicle has completed its first wet dress rehearsal.
The test - which saw the vehicle loaded with propellant go through the launch sequence down to T-10 seconds before launch - only discovered minor issues including two faulty valves and some software issues according to Gilmour Space.
"I cannot overstate the significance of what we’ve accomplished, with only minimal issues detected,” said Gilmour Space's Director of Launch Vehicles and Satellites, David Doyle.
“This was the final major test to validate the readiness of our rocket, ground systems and crew, while allowing us to address any concerns ahead of launch day."
"At this stage, we expect to resolve all identified issues in the coming weeks. Pending approvals and other unforeseen events, Eris should be ready for launch as soon as we get the green light."
