Rocket Lab is currently working on a new partially reusable medium lift launch vehicle named Neutron, with the goal of launching it for the first time late this year. While its launch site, physical stages, and design are important, arguably the most time-consuming and crucial aspect has to do with the engines.
The company has been working to design, manufacture, and now test a new engine named Archimedes specifically for the Neutron rocket. Recently, we got more information on how this has scaled and the current production and test schedule underway. Here I will go more in-depth into the engine testing, up in production, and more.
