At about 7:15 am MDT Armadillo Aerospace showed up with a repaired Pixel vehicle, ready to make another attempt later this morning for the Lunar Lander Challenge Level 1. John Carmack said that they made a number of fixes to Pixel overnight, including replacing the landing legs with the ones from Texel, replacing some burned wiring and adding additional insulation to wiring, and making a change to the flight software to lower the descent rate to 1 m/s, all to avoid the hard landing they experienced yesterday. Carmack said they noticed some cracking in the combustion chamber of the engine, so they replaced the chamber with an older one.
Should they be successful this morning with Level One, they are not ruling out flying Texel for Level Two this afternoon, or else making a demonstration flight of about 150 seconds to break the DC-X flight duration record.
This is a great performance by a great team. Good luck to ‘em all.
