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.

This is still an issue. Tried twice yesterday and neither time the door opened.
