Themis will now be prepared for a ground test campaign with its landing legs added. On the launch pad, the team will conduct a ‘wet dress rehearsal’. This will include filling the tanks with methane in liquid form that flows at cryogenic conditions below –162°C. Then, a hot-firing test will be performed, in which Prometheus, Themis’ engine, will be fired up without take-off! Once Themis is cleared for its first flight, a short hop is planned reaching a height of around 20 metres before landing safely.
