6 top-level parts · 120,978 parts in total · full bill of materials below
| # | Part | Qty | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Composite Sandwich Panel | 6× | Carbon-fibre face sheets over aluminium honeycomb core; stiff, light and unpressurised. |
| 2 | Acoustic Blanket | 30× | Payload acoustic protection |
| 3 | Fairing Separation Rail | 1× | Latch rail along the fairing split line, released pneumatically at jettison. |
| 4 | Pneumatic Pusher | 4× | Gas-driven pusher that imparts clean separation velocity without pyrotechnic shock. |
| 5 | Fairing Recovery Kit 6 parts | 1× | Everything one fairing half needs to come home: cold-gas attitude thrusters for the exoatmospheric coast, a drogue and steerable parafoil for the last few kilometres, and flotation for the wait at sea. |
| 6 | Structural Fastener | 120000× | Panel splice, frame and blanket attachment |
