Rocket Lab fires up its first recovered engine, on track to full... Technology.
You can watch the test from start to finish here: Don’t worry, those aren’t parts of the engine flying around.
“Being able to refly Electron with minimal refurbishment is the ultimate goal, and so the fact that the recovered components on this engine performed on the test stand with minimal rework is further validation that we’re on the right path,” said CEO and founder of Rocket Lab Peter Beck in a press release.
But a rocket designed to be used once may be very different from one designed for reuse, and Rocket Lab has been adjusting its approach to embrace the latter.
I’ve asked Rocket Lab for a few extra details and will update this post if I hear back.
