    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Lab_Electron

    There are nine Rutherford engines on the first stage and one vacuum-optimized version on the second stage. [26] [27] [28] The first stage engines deliver 162 kN (36,000 lb f) of thrust and the second stage delivers 22 kN (4,900 lb f) of thrust. Almost all of the engines' parts are 3D printed to save time and money in the manufacturing process ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric-pump-fed_engine

    As of December 2020, the only rocket engines to use electric propellant pump systems are the Rutherford engine, [2] ten of which power the Electron rocket, [2] and the Delphin engine, five of which power the first stage of Astra Space's Rocket 3. [3] On 21 January 2018, Electron was the first electric pump-fed rocket to reach orbit. [4]

    The Rutherford engine uses pumps driven by battery-powered electric motors rather than a gas generator, expander, or preburner. [107] The engine is fabricated largely by 3D printing , using electron beam melting , [ 108 ] whereby layers of metal powder are melted in a high vacuum by an electron beam. [ 109 ]

  8. Curie (rocket engine) - Wikipedia

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

    The Curie engine, named after Polish scientist Marie SkÅ‚odowska–Curie, is a small liquid-propellant rocket engine designed to release "small satellites from the constricting parameters of primary payload orbits and enables them to fully reach their potential, including faster deployment of small satellite constellations and better positioning for Earth imaging". [3]
