Today you will see the NOVA-01 airship being assembled in a hangar. We'll show you:

• the process of installing the empennage and nacelle on the shell,
• reinforcing the tail and nose parts,
• installation of the thruster and onboard computer, the heart of the airship.

The team members will talk about the operating equipment components: a flight termination unit, a sleeve for accessing the inside of the shell, a pressure receiver and various sensors. They will also explain how the ballonet, which occupies 30% of the shell, compensates for changes in gas volume.

We will show the preparation for flight tests, including the loading of sandbags (total weight 120 kg). Now the NOVA-01 airship is ready for its first flight!
