First carbon lattice frame sections

The first carbon lattice frame sections are built. Each new iteration is lighter for the same stiffness.

The frame is a lattice of helical and hoop ribs, inspired by the published design principles of European launcher and satellite structures.

Sections bolt together into nose, body and tail modules, so an airship travels on a trailer and is assembled at the launch site.
