May 2, 2024 · Machine time dropped to less than a day, which was a significant win for turbine cost and machine time. It was also a good lesson in thinking comprehensively about a design’s manufacturability (those passages between the blades looked so big on the computer screen!) in addition to its performance.
Mar 31, 2022 · ABL time is worse than Elon time. Every new rocket development is more or less the same in that regard. I am not aware of a single other company that is always launching next quarter.
It turned out the performance impact of running fewer blades was minimal, so we cut the number down, allowing our machinist to use larger, less fragile tools. Machine time dropped to less than a day, which was a significant win for turbine cost and machine time.
This means RS1 can be moved easily by air, land, or sea to a desired launch site. The vehicle is powered by LOx and RP-1 or Jet-A, available at airfields worldwide. RS1 can be readied for launch in less time, with less people, and with a smaller footprint.
