Here are the key facts about testing from the provided context:
1. Aircraft Flight Testing
– Midnight aircraft has achieved full flight envelope testing with a pilot onboard
– Piloted testing has already begun while completing ground tests
– First piloted flights with the latest Midnight aircraft expected within a week
– Test aircraft are extensively instrumented with:
Hundreds of strain gauges for structural integrity
Accelerometers for vibration data
Extensive temperature sensor arrays
– Custom flight test instrumentation system captures critical certification data
– Simulator used to test new flight control systems with pilots before actual flights
2. Medical Testing
– NGS testing is currently common in the U.S. for certain populations
– Plans to incorporate NGS testing into regular blood work workflows
3. Software/Model Testing
– Spaceship software being tested in simulators before flight to reduce risk
– Models being tested for performance in difficult market conditions
