Move over NASA SLS, SpaceX StarShip, and EU's Ariane 6 - where come the underdogs in mid-heavy lift space launch vehicles!
>> Relativity Space’s Terran R - heavy-lift, two-stage vehicle engineered to serve deep-space cargo and large constellation deployments.
>> Rocket Lab’s Neutron - medium-lift vehicle utilizing a proprietary lightweight carbon composite structure, powered by seven in-house liquid oxygen and methane engines
>> PLD Space’s Miura 5 - two-stage small-to-medium vehicle engineered to deliver ~ 1,000 kgs payload capacity direct to low-Earth orbit (LEO).
All three systems are expected to conduct integrated system test flights, full-scale hotfire verifications, and launch pad activations in 2H 2026. https://satnews.com/2026/07/20/commercial-launch-providers-advance-next-generation-heavy-and-medium-lift-vehicle-milestones-ahead-of-2026-debuts/ #Space #SpaceLaunch #CommercialLaunch #SpaceLaunchVehicle #Satellites #RelativitySpace #TerranR #RocketLab #Neutron #PLD #Miura5

#Neutron was designed to lift 13,000 kilograms to orbit . That puts it in the medium-lift category, comparable to the variant of Europe’s #Ariane6 that flies with two solid rocket boosters. Ariane was not designed for reusability ♻️ as Neutron was.
The second stage is completely enveloped within the first stage and would be released in orbit 🌌 . The rocket will descend back through the atmosphere, only needs to fire its engines once, just before landing https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/features/rocket-labs-next-step/

#SpaceX is not accepting Transporter reservations beyond late 2028 or early 2029. That has led companies like Exolaunch and SEOPS to buy their own #Falcon9 rideshare launches. There seems to be a panic 😱 setting in. That has factored into planning for #RocketLab’s #Neutron medium-lift rocket, including customers seeking “longer-term” deals and block buys of launches to guarantee access to space 🌌 https://spacenews.com/spacex-launches-transporter-17-amid-concerns-about-rideshare-programs-future/

#ImpulseSpace and #RelativitySpace are the newest companies to be on-ramped to the national security launch program. #RocketLab, with its #Neutron rocket, and #StokeSpace, with the #Nova vehicle, were added in March 2025. #SpaceX, #ULA, and #BlueOrigin were the original awardees in 2024.

#Science, #Electromagnatism, #Ionic-energy, #battery, #Physics, #Universe, #Stars, #Neutron-stars, #Magenatars
The natural Universe requires polarity. "You cannot run a battery with one terminal". So, you use (both). Main sequence Stars are the visible, positive. (What we see). Then you have Neutron stars, magenatars. These are the ionic stars (we cannot see). Now take the battery analogy. You need both polarities to have "function". Sgr A* is a prime candidate for being an ion star in theory.

🚀 Lors d'essais de qualification sur l'inter-étage du lanceur #Neutron, des fissures sont apparues. Rocket Lab a indiqué que l'inter-étage a atteint la charge de qualification (~125 % de la charge en vol) et testé jusqu’à la défaillance, testant ainsi les marges de conception. Pas d'impact sur le calendrier de lancement du nouveau lanceur.

[Перевод] Не всё трафику одинаково: QoS в OpenStack Neutron
Привет, Хабр! Мы уже разбирали OVN в связке с OpenStack и трассировку пакетов. А сегодня предлагаем почитать перевод документации про Quality of Service (QoS) в Neutron: что это, какие правила поддерживаются, как настроить и как работать с политиками.

Установка OpenStack через kolla-ansible
OpenStack — это ваш собственный «Self Hosted AWS». Звучит пугающе, но с kolla-ansible развернуть его можно за вечер. Рассказываю как — от ip addr show до рабочего дашборда Horizon. Гайд, которого мне не хватало на русском.

The failure of a propellant tank during testing in January will delay the first launch of #RocketLab’s #Neutron rocket to at least the fourth quarter of this year.
The defect came from the process of hand-laying the composite tank sections, done by a contractor.
The company had already planned to produce future tanks using an automated fiber placement machine that promises faster production while eliminating any chance of creating similar defects https://spacenews.com/rocket-lab-delays-neutron-debut-to-late-2026/

🚀 Rocket Lab annonce le report du premier lancement de #Neutron au 4e trimestre 2026, suite à la perte du réservoir du premier étage lors d'un test en janvier.
Rocket Lab s'attendait à ce que cet élément résiste aux tests hydrostatiques (remplissage du réservoir avec de l'eau).
Un défaut de fabrication a entraîné une réduction de la résistance au niveau d'une jonction critique du réservoir. Cette zone a été modifiée sur les réservoirs suivants afin d'augmenter la marge de sécurité.
