I've attempted this several times since it first released, and since I just got my Raze-Lighter, I decided I'd give it another go. Turns out, the door that leads to the ketch won't open. All I can do is scan the door, at which point my Ghost simply says that the Fallen were here, and we just missed them.
Thinking it might have just been a random bug, I restarted the mission. Sprinted to the door as fast as I could, and got the same thing. I know I'm not the only one running into this problem as well. Here's a forum post from just a few days ago: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/219589699?showBanned=0&path=0[/url]
I am running the mission on Heroic difficulty.
I did not wipe during either attempt to get to the ketch.
This seems to be an issue that was introduced with the Dawning update. Since this is the only possible way to procure the Black Spindle, those of us who don't have it simply cannot get it, currently.
Edit: I know that the Destiny subreddit isn't the official forum for these sorts of things. But there have been several posts by others regarding this issue as well.

*UPDATE: 12/21/16*
Just tried it again last night, this time with a friend. Everything worked as it was supposed to and we were finally able to get our Black Spindles.
Maybe it's just confirmation bias, but I swear it's never been as inconsistent as it was two days ago. The only thing that I tried differently, was not going for it solo. No idea as to whether or not that actually did anything.

I did it today, just picked the regular mission, changed the light to 320 (HARD yellow) and did twice, the first time when we arrived to the door was closing, then we did it the second time, we realized you have to rush the whole mission to find the door open. So, IF YOU WANT TO GET THE BLACK SPINDLE JUST RUSH THE WHOLE MISSION, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, IF NOT THE DOOR WILL CLOSE IF YOU ARE NOT FAST ENOUGH TO FIND IT OPEN. Note : the young wolf sword (rise of the iron solar sword) worked excellent in combination with the solar grenades (Warlock) and the dragon's breath.
