While Rocket Lab continues to launch the Electron rocket and pursue partial reusability, they also have been ramping up work on the next-generation Neutron launch vehicle. Most recently this came in the form of the first full Archimedes engine static fire. This new and more powerful engine will provide thrust for both the first and second stages of Neutron.
With this step complete, Rocket Lab is getting closer to creating actual flight hardware and starting full-scale tests of the rocket. Here I will go more in-depth into the recent hot fire, other progress on Neutron, what to expect in the coming months, and more.
