Archimedes was presented on December 2, 2021, in a webcast by Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck. [4] It was presented as a fully reusable, gas generator engine using LOX and methane as propellant, a departure from the company's previous Rutherford, which is electrically pump fed. He then stated that it had a thrust of 1 MN (220,000 lbf) and 320 seconds ...
The first hotfire-tested Blue Origin BE-4 rocket engine, serial number 103, at the 34th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado, April 2018, showing the liquid methane inlet side of the engine. The New Glenn is a 7 m (23 ft) diameter two-stage orbital launch vehicle with a reusable first stage and an expendable second stage.
Maelstrom: The Battle for Earth Begins is set in 2050 in a post-apocalyptic future following an ecological disaster which results in much of the planet's submersion, as well as the subsequent nuclear holocaust over the remaining resources. Most of humankind has taken refuge beneath the surface, taking shelter from a long-standing war between ...
The engine was designed for use on Symphonie satellites. These were the first three-axis stabilised communication satellites in geostationary orbit to use a liquid bipropellant apogee engine for orbit insertion. [1] A liquid apogee engine ( LAE ), or apogee engine, refers to a type of chemical rocket engine typically used as the main engine in ...
Thousands of combinations of fuels and oxidizers have been tried over the years. Some of the more common and practical ones are: Cryogenic. Liquid oxygen (LOX, O 2) and liquid hydrogen (LH 2, H 2) – Space Shuttle main engines, Space Launch System core stage, Ariane 5 main stage and the Ariane 5 ECA second stage, the BE-3 of Blue Origin's New Shepard, the first and second stage of the Delta ...
Neutron is a medium-lift two-stage launch vehicle under development by Rocket Lab.Announced on 1 March 2021, the vehicle is designed to be capable of delivering a payload of 13,000 kg (28,700 lb) to low Earth orbit in a partially reusable configuration, and will focus on the growing megaconstellation satellite delivery market.
Private spaceflight. Falcon 1 was a small-lift launch vehicle that was operated from 2006 to 2009 [5] by SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer. On 28 September 2008, Falcon 1 became the first privately developed fully liquid-fueled launch vehicle to go into orbit around the Earth.
In April 2021, DARPA announced the start of DRACO by awarding 18-month Phase 1 contracts to General Atomics for the nuclear reactor concept design ($22 million), and to Blue Origin ($2.5 million) and Lockheed Martin ($2.9 million) for their competing operation system and demonstration system concept designs.
