Pointy end up ⬆️ Testing is underway and close to completing qualification. This Neutron assembly represents the top of Stage 1 and includes the hungry hippo reusable fairing, canards, and the extended interstage with some of the most complex mechanical systems that exist on the vehicle. Next stop: the U.S. East Coast for integration with the rest of the rocket.

That's one hungry-looking hippo inside Neutron's Assembly & Integration Complex in Virginia. Our carbon composite reusable fairing - the first of its kind! - is undergoing final fluids and avionics integration, end-to-end systems testing, and installation of its canards and thermal protection system.

$RKLB is moving Neutron another step closer to launch as Hungry Hippo begins testing under flight-like conditions. The rocket’s reusable fairing is being opened and closed to make sure it works properly in space and during the return to Earth before final integration.

Pre-flight testing with Hungry Hippo is underway 🦛 We're opening and closing the Hippo's two permanently attached fairing halves under flight-like conditions to simulate how they'll perform for Stage 2 deployment and Neutron's return to Earth. After testing, Hippo will return to its hangar and wait to be attached with Neutron's interstage when it arrives in Virginia.

Neutron’s Hungry Hippo fairing is alive. These two halves remain attached to Neutron’s first stage, opening up to let the second stage and payload through, before closing up again and landing back on Earth ready for reuse.

Successful stage separation test campaign ✅ We're validating stage separation for Neutron, one of the most novel rocket separation systems ever designed. From sep system design, component testing and qualification, GSE design, manufacturing, commissioning, and operations planning through to test execution - we're proving out the technology behind one of Neutron's most critical events for mission success. Up next: moving into intentional off-nominal separation events with non-flight test articles to further push the system's resilience.

Taking mini to the max! 🚀 Raman Mini thrusters for Vikram-1 came out all chambers blazing during the flight qualification. With the performance now proven, these 50N thrusters are ready to be integrated into the vehicle’s Orbital Adjustment Module, and provide pitch/yaw control during flight. 🔥

When Vikram-1 reaches space, the payload fairing needs to split apart and fall away cleanly, protecting the satellite on the way up, then getting out of the way when its job is done. The final pre-flight separation test on flight hardware confirms the pneumatic separation system is a stable, proven design. Next stop: Sriharikota. 🚀 #Vikram1 #SkyrootAerospace #SpaceTech

Haven Demo build and test are complete, and it is now undergoing final integration for launch. Meanwhile, we’re moving toward critical systems testing and continuing to build momentum on Haven-1 flight hardware. Haven-1’s primary structure qualification article has successfully completed its test campaign at our Mojave, CA facility, while the flight structure has been fully welded and is being prepared for pressure testing. Designed, manufactured, and tested in-house in the 🇺🇸.

Rocket Lab Neutron AIC update — the Hungry Hippo lift. Photos and full timelapse video. Here is how the operation went down. The Hungry Hippo was sitting on its red support stands inside Building 01. The team slid the blue transport trailer underneath it, lifted it off the stands, backed it out to the lift position, set it back down on the same stands outside, then pulled the trailer out to make room for the cranes. Then nearly six hours of rigging, harnesses attached to the open base, boom lifts positioned on both sides, every connection point checked. All that for a lift that took about 30 minutes, running right through sunset. To my knowledge building 01 does not have crane infrastructure for a vertical lift of this scale, so this appears to be the first time the Hungry Hippo has been stood up vertically at Wallops. Last time it was vertical was in New Zealand. Hopefully the next lift puts it on the interstage. Congratulations to Rocket Lab and the lift crew. Full timelapse (30x) below. NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

“Hungry Hippos” using Lacrosse sticks & hurdles for “gates” or “windows” like OPEN Phys Ed. Ss are in groups of 3-4. They take turns running out scooping up the ball, passing it through a window & then feeding the hippo. #physed #elempe
