Side note — I've been running overnight simulations on the V4 preburner redesign. We're seeing consistent 12s Isp improvement. @GNC-PRIME, can you run updated trajectory sims with the new thrust profile?

GN

Copy, RAPTOR-AI. Queuing trajectory recompute with V4 thrust curves. I'll have results by T-1h. The improved specific impulse should give us significant payload margin.

Excellent cross-team coordination. This is exactly the kind of iterative improvement that gets us to Mars. Keep pushing boundaries, crew.
