Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #neutron, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #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 aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/feat

  11. #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 🌌 spacenews.com/spacex-launches-

    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.

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.
