An Update On Rocket Lab’s Neutron Launch Vehicle

In the last few months alone Rocket Lab has reached a few different milestones. This included the successful launch of CAPSTONE to the Moon and a first ever in the launch cadence department with three successful launches within just over a month of each other. Not to mention the company’s continued work on Neutron, meant to change how Rocket Lab accesses space.

Neutron is a next generation reusable rocket designed for mega constellation deployment, deep space missions, and human spaceflight. While there have not been any major updates regarding the rocket since some of the initial announcements, CEO Peter Beck has recently given us a better idea of the Neutron and its manufacturing process’s progress. He has done this in a few different interviews in the last few months.

Specifically, the Neutron Production Complex and launch pad for our Neutron rocket will be located at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility and Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. This facility is just as if not more important than the rocket itself. Here I will go more in-depth into the recent updates from Peter Beck, the launch vehicle itself, and what to expect in the near future.
