Rocket Lab Unveils Electric Powered Engine, Wants First Flight By End Of 2015 来自 EBSCO 喜欢 0 阅读量: 22 摘要: The article presents details of the electric, liquid oxygen/kerosene, three dimensional (3D) printed engine called Rutherford to be used in the Electron battery-powered rocket by ...
What's taking place on the factory floor at Rocket Lab, in terms of manufacturing? Beck: Manufacturing is manufacturing. I don't think fundamentally anything has changed. Certainly there's a bunch of technologies, like 3D printing. We were the first to put a 3D printed engine in orbit. ...
3D printed primary components.Rutherford is the first oxygen/hydrocarbon engine to use 3D printing for all primary components including its engine chamber, injector, pumps and main propellant valves. Using this process, Rocket Lab’s engineers have created complex, yet lightweight, structures prev...
The heart of the kick stage is Curie, an engine developed by Rocket Lab. Beck described the engine, capable of performing multiple burns, as 3D-printed and using an unspecified "green" monopropellant. The name follows a trend by the company to name its engines after famous physicists: its ...
Announced that the Company will fly a pre-launched 3D printed Rutherford engine on an upcoming mission in Q3’23, a major step in evolving the Electron launch vehicle into a reusable rocket. Second Quarter 2023 Guidance For the second quarter of 2023,Rocket Labexpects: ...
With Luna’s first rocket prototype tested, his next milestone will be to prepare for and conduct a static fire test on the second rocket prototype, which has the generatively designed and metal 3D-printed motor mount bracket and the solid propellant rocket engine. Luna plans to have the rock...
