We are also excited to have been named a Leader in the Summer 2023 Grid® Report for Standard Operating Procedures by G2, along with several other accolades.

Congratulations to our friends at ARES Rocketry on their recent participation in the Spaceport America Cup! The team mentioned that Epsilon3 played a vital role in preparations for the competition, with well-executed tasks such as packing gear and numerous dry dress rehearsals. The platform proved to be incredibly helpful during the actual launch day. They are eager to integrate E3 into their upcoming competition rocket's development, spanning all sub-teams and procedures. We can't wait to see what the team builds next!

New! Run-Preview for Review

Reviewers now have 3 ways to view a procedure that’s in review:

- The Run-Preview view (new): Reviewers are able to simulate a run of the procedure without persisting any data.
- The Flowchart view (new): Reviewers are able to see the big picture of the procedure with diagrams of how sections and steps are organized and connected.
