To get the first half of our vacuum vessel from Italy to the USA, we flew it on an Antonov An-124 Ruslan aircraft, an unusual 4-engine cargo plane with room for the 48-ton component. Unlike passenger planes, the nose of the An-124 hinges upward to load and unload cargo. #FusionEnergy #PlaneSpotting

The vacuum vessel is the heart of SPARC where our fusion fuel, heated to about 100 million degrees Celsius, will be contained. Now that half of it is at our headquarters in Devens, our team is already getting to work preparing it for the next phase of the build. #SPARC #Aviation
