55delta Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I look at that new logo and think: "Introducing our newest innovation: the rocket-propelled R!" Ah...it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I prefer the old logo... I think I would have dumped the line art rocket, made a font where the B had came more to a >, and kept the flame. That or same font, keep the flame, add a > <<<<<<<>ROCKET LAB> (where the <<> on the back is red, dunno about the nose cone) Quick and dirty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Building sats is a smart move since the launch business is not great money wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obnox twin Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I think Rocket Labs neutron could lift a 2 person capsule to LEO with the right adjustments I think it could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take an 8t payload to LEO. They'd have to have a way to separate the fairing as part of an LES system—maybe the capsule has integral LES like Dragon, and the fairings are blown off as part of the abort. But yeah, seems plausible, possibly more than 2 crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnemoe Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 2 hours ago, Geonovast said: No fairing on crew launches. One issue with crewed missions is that you has to land downrange as you need the launch angle to be so shallow that any abort don't give to high g load in any aborts. This is why falcon 9 land downrange and why Boeing manned system had two engines on centaur upper stage. My guess is an pretty wide capsule and an cone style trunk, second stage probably peak inside the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavio hc16 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Imho for crew flights they will just expend the booster, especially for the first years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obnox twin Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 But the problem for crewed flight is that it might need a better second stage but yeah I be happy to apply for rocket lab to be an astronaut if they do crewed flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obnox twin Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 But I think they should build a neutron launchpad/area in NZ but where could should it go tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
