355: 364: 373: 877: 1285: 337:. By this point, ArianeGroup had also reportedly started work on an intermediate version of SUSIE, which would be smaller than the heavy version. So-called 'hop' testing of the demonstrator is scheduled to continue through to mid-2025; early tests are to be focused on guidance and navigation functionality, while later testing shall include rocket-powered controlled descent, drop, and abort sequences. 2039: 1297: 1986: 245:

On longer duration crewed missions, such as beyond Earth orbit, the payload bay can convert into extra habitable volume for the crew to live comfortably. With the addition of a suitable additional space transfer module, SUSIE could reportedly conduct

As of November 2023, the proposed development timeline set out that a smaller commercial cargo version of SUSIE could be potentially ready for 2028, while crewed missions using the full-scale craft would not be expected to occur before the early 2030s. The project has yet to secure both approval
