Hazegrayart Shows how Rocket Lab's Reusable Neutron Rocket Could Work universetoday storybywill
The rocket then ascends to orbit using its seven Archimedes Engines, which cut out once it reaches deployment altitude. At this point, we see the payload nose cone opening to release its second stage with the payload into orbit. The animation transitions to space to show the second stage flying off as the rocket reorients and closes its fairing for the return trip.
One look at the animation gives the impression that the animation was largely inspired by footage of the Starship prototype tests. The way the point-of-view transitions from the ground to space and back again, the realistic sound effects, and the descent stage are all similar. The way the central engine fires up to bring the rocket’s tail around for a landing is highly reminiscent of the “belly-flop maneuver” SpaceX performed.
The key feature of the updated design is the captive fairing design, which consists of four nose cone segments that open and close rather than break off and fall away. This allows for a fully-reusable rocket and fairing design, which SpaceX has also experimented with by making their
