   The same day, the Neutron page on Rocket Lab's website was updated specifying the thrust of the nine Archimedes engines used on the first stage as 5,960 kN (1,340,000 lbf) at sea level and a maximum thrust of 7,530 kN (1,690,000 lbf) and the upper stage's single vacuum optimized Archimedes at 1,110 kN (250,000 lbf).

3. Rocket engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_engine

   RS-68 being tested at NASA's Stennis Space Center Viking 5C rocket engine used on Ariane 1 through Ariane 4. A rocket engine is a reaction engine, producing thrust in accordance with Newton's third law by ejecting reaction mass rearward, usually a high-speed jet of high-temperature gas produced by the combustion of rocket propellants stored inside the rocket.

4. SpaceX rocket engines - Wikipedia

   Channels etched into the Merlin 1D nozzle enable regenerative cooling preventing exhaust heat from melting it.. Since the founding of SpaceX in 2002, the company has developed four families of rocket engines — Merlin, Kestrel, Draco and SuperDraco — and since 2016 developed the Raptor methane rocket engine and after 2020, a line of methalox thrusters.

5. SpaceX Super Heavy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Super_Heavy

   The Raptor engine uses a full-flow staged combustion cycle, which has both oxygen and methane-rich turbopumps. [27] [28] Before 2014, only two full-flow staged-combustion rocket engine designs had advanced enough to undergo testing: the Soviet RD-270 project in the 1960s and the Aerojet Rocketdyne Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator in the mid ...

6. Rutherford (rocket engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_(rocket_engine)

   Rutherford is a liquid-propellant rocket engine designed by aerospace company Rocket Lab [8] and manufactured in Long Beach, California. [9] The engine is used on the company's own rocket, Electron. It uses LOX (liquid oxygen) and RP-1 (refined kerosene) as its propellants and is the first flight-ready engine to use the electric-pump-fed cycle.

7. SpaceX Raptor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Raptor

   The concept evolved from a family of Raptor-designated rocket engines (2012) [45] to focus on the full-size Raptor engine (2014). [46] In January 2016, the US Air Force awarded a US$33.6 million development contract to SpaceX to develop a prototype Raptor for use on the upper stage of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. [47] [48]

8. Rocketdyne F-1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketdyne_F-1

   The F-1 engine is the most powerful single-nozzle liquid-fueled rocket engine ever flown. The M-1 rocket engine was designed to have more thrust, but it was only tested at the component level. The later developed RD-170 is much more stable, technologically more advanced , more efficient and produces more thrust, but uses four nozzles fed by a ...

9. RD-270 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RD-270

   In total, 27 test firings were performed with 22 engines, three engines were tested twice, and one of them was tested three times. [2] All works stopped later together with corresponding activities on the UR-700 project. The RD 270 was also considered for the R-56 rocket (although never formally adopted) until work on the design stopped in June ...
