Core Insights - Rocket Lab is progressing with its Neutron rocket development, focusing on three main work streams: the Archimedes engine, composite structures, and necessary infrastructure [3][4]. Group 1: Neutron Development - The Archimedes engine has been undergoing a test campaign since August of the previous year, which is essential for qualifying the engine [3]. - The testing includes evaluating different power levels, propellant mix ratios, and control schemes [4]. - A second test stand is being constructed at the Stennis test facility in Mississippi, which will double the testing capacity, crucial for meeting the launch timeline in the second half of the year [4].
