Grid Fin System

Assembly

Four cast-and-machined titanium lattice fins at the top of the booster that steer it through hypersonic and supersonic descent, the booster’s only aerodynamic control between the entry and landing burns. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
