Rocket Lab’s Neutron Rocket Suffers Test Failure — But It’s Not All Bad News

Описание: Rocket Lab’s upcoming Neutron rocket just experienced a dramatic test failure — a fuel tank rupture that caused the upper stage to completely collapse during structural testing.

The test, conducted at Rocket Lab’s Virginia facility, was meant to push the vehicle’s composite structure to its limits. And according to CEO Peter Beck, that’s exactly what happened. While the rupture looked severe, Rocket Lab says the data gained will help improve the rocket’s design as they prepare for the Neutron’s first launch, currently scheduled for no earlier than 2025.
