Neutron is a reusable medium-lift rocket developed by Rocket Lab for launching large payloads into space. It is powered by nine Archimedes engines on the first stage and a single vacuum-optimized Archimedes engine on the second stage, using liquid methane and oxygen. It can carry up to 13,000 kilograms... show more

China’s Zhuque-3, developed by LandSpace, is a stainless-steel, methane-liquid-oxygen reusable rocket — 66 meters tall, 660 tons at liftoff, with an 18-ton payload to low Earth orbit (LEO). If its first orbital launch succeeds this year, it could rival SpaceX’s Falcon 9.

Stoke Space is developing a fully reusable rocket designed to reuse both its first and second stages. The first stage lands like Falcon 9, while the second stage returns to Earth after delivering its payload using a unique engine with 30 thrust chambers. Its actively cooled heat shield uses cryogenic fuel to protect the rocket during the intense heat of re-entry.

China has achieved its first-ever controlled recovery of a rocket booster, a breakthrough for the country's reusable space tech. On the maiden flight of Long March-10B, the rocket successfully placed its payload into orbit, and its first stage returned and was captured by a net system on a seaborne platform.

Archimedes second stage engine full duration burn - complete ✅ (and what a thing of beauty). The AVac (Archimedes Vacuum) engine produces 1.2x lbf of its Stage 1 variant and stands ~2.5m taller thanks to its extended nozzle optimized for the vacuum conditions of space. Recent AVac testing included a stub skirt for the nozzle. Since full length vacuum nozzles at ground level risk flow separation and instability, stub skirts are used to anchor our engineers' analysis for how the engine will perform with the full nozzle in vacuum conditions - all critical preparation for Neutron's first flight.

A ton of historic firsts last week. Our Relativity Space team proved more in this first launch than most companies (and even countries) ever have in their maiden attempt: ✅ first methane fueled rocket in the West to reach space, well over the 100km Karman Line (only other is China) ✅ first nearly entirely 3D printed rocket to fly and prove 3D printing is viable by passing Max-Q, the max stress on the rocket ✅ first methane orbital-class rocket to successfully complete stage 1 flight, main engine cutoff, and second stage separation in the West (only other is China) ✅ first-ever second stage ignition attempt during the vacuum of flight for a methane fueled orbital rocket in the West, collected first-ever flight data ✅ continuing data reviews, and will bring learnings to our future rocket including Terran R ✅ one really ecstatic launch viewing experience - here, as close as one can get to the launch pad. INTENSE 12 of 10, the reaction makes perfect sense when being there, surreal 🤯

$RKLB Neutron will be the largest carbon fiber structure to ever fly once it's completed. Some critics say it's not realistic because it would be the first carbon fiber structure of that size to fly, but I'd argue Rocket Lab is pretty good at firsts: "We were the first to 3D print a rocket engine and put it into orbit. We were the first to do an all carbon composite rocket and put it into orbit. We were the first to do all fiber optically networked avionics suite on a launch vehicle and put it into orbit." — Sir Peter Beck, Rocket Lab CEO

Sunbird is a nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft concept developed by Pulsar Fusion to reduce deep-space travel time. It uses a Dual Direct Fusion Drive powered by deuterium and helium-3 and is designed to act as a space tug from low Earth orbit. Still in development, it could become the fastest self-propelled spacecraft ever built if testing is successful.

🚨INDIA'S FIRST SPACE DOCKING MISSION LAUNCHES SUCCESSFULLY India launched its inaugural Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX), aiming to join the U.S, Russia, and China in mastering this advanced technology. The mission deployed two 220kg spacecraft into a 470km orbit, set to test docking and power transfer capabilities vital for future satellite servicing and India's planned space station. ISRO’s PSLV rocket also repurposed its final stage into an orbital lab for experiments, opening new avenues for Indian startups and academic institutions in space research. A successful docking, expected by January 7, would mark a major leap for India’s space ambitions. Source: RT

Elon put it simply: "The cost of access to orbit is just the cost of propellant." If that holds, the economics of space will get rewritten entirely. Source: SpaceX, Elon Musk
