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.
Its Rutherford engines are the first electric-pump-fed engine to power an orbital-class rocket. [17] Electron is often flown with a kickstage or Rocket Lab's Photon spacecraft. Although the rocket was designed to be expendable, Rocket Lab has recovered the first stage twice and is working towards the capability of reusing the booster. [18]

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 ]
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]

Ownership was transferred from Conrail to the Norfolk Southern Railway in 1999. In the summer of 2000, Norfolk Southern retrofitted the yard for $31 million, its first major investment in the Harrisburg ...
Harrisburg-Raleigh airport is a civil, public-use airport located four miles north of the town of Harrisburg, Illinois and just southwest of Raleigh, Illinois in Saline County. The airport is publicly owned. [2] The airport has two asphalt runways. Runway 6/24 is 5013 x 75 ft (1528 x 23 m) and runway 14/32 is 2764 x 75 ft (842 x 23 m). [3] [4]
