Rocket Lab plans to charge $50 million for flights aboard its Neutron rocket, placing it in direct competition with SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
, Spice offered some updates, saying the Neutron’s tank structures are now in production and that the rocket’s launch pad is under construction, adding that the first hot fire tests of the 3D-printed Archimedes engines could happen by the end of 2023, CNBC reports.
That Neutron could rival Falcon 9 is a distinct possibility, but SpaceX’s upcoming Starship megarocket could reshape the spaceflight industry as we know it. Musk is aiming for $1 million per launch of Starship, which represents an astoundingly low price point. Autry says Starship is “probably a lot farther off than advertised,” which isn’t a surprise,
given Musk’s track record of over promising, but “he delivers amazing stuff” and his “recent pricing moves at Tesla—particularly in China—suggest he is willing to cut prices to the bone to hold market share,” Autry told Gizmodo.And then there’s ULA’s Vulcan and Blue Origin’s New Glenn to consider, neither of which have launched but, like Starship, are poised to redefine the industry. “Both of these firms are well backed and have deep talent pools,” Autry explained.
Pointing to the recent operational pause at Virgin Orbit, Autry said “this can be a brutal market” and that the looming recession, plus high interest rates, aren’t producing an environment conducive for speculative ventures to raise funds.establish itself as a “dominant player” in getting small satellites to orbit, Spice said. Becksaid that Rocket Lab is seeking to create an “end-to-end platform for customers” and that, in addition to launching rockets, the company could custom-build satellites and spacecraft.
