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.

Warning: if you haven't transferred anything from ps3 to ps4 yet get the black spindle on ps3 first. It still works fine on ps3 because i have Destiny for both and checked. I just wish i would have gotten it before I transferred all my stuff to ps4. From the comments i read in other blogs or whatever the hell they're called you have to do it really really fast so I'll keep trying i guess.
