Lub tuam txhab Asmeskas Rocket Lab tab tom tsim lub ntiaj teb cov pa roj carbon fiber ntau sib xyaw "Neutron" foob pob hluav taws.
Lub Neutron nruab nrab-ntev foob pob hluav taws los ntawm American Rocket Lab tau ua cov kev hloov tshiab hauv qhov chaw mus ncig, dhau los ua lub foob pob hluav taws loj tshaj plaws uas tau tsim los txog niaj hnub no. Thaum pib, ntau pua txheej thiab ntau txhiab square feet ntawm carbon fiber tau muab tso rau hauv pwm, nrog rau pab pawg loj siv sijhawm ntau lub lis piam los ua kom tiav cov haujlwm.
Tam sim no, 39-foot-siab carbon composite 3D tshuab luam ntawv tuaj yeem nteg 328 ko taw ntawm carbon fiber ib feeb, ua tsaug rau Rocket Lab qhov tshiab automated fiber placement (AFP) tshuab, uas tuaj yeem ua tiav txoj haujlwm hauv ib hnub.
Koj tuaj yeem xav tias nws yog 39-ko taw (12-} meter) siab, 75-tuj autonomous 3D tshuab luam ntawv uas tuaj yeem luam cov pa roj carbon fiber ntau ntawm qhov ceev ntawm 328 ko taw (100 meters) ib feeb . Nws tsis "luam" ntu; Hloov chaw, nws nteg cov nplooj ntawv ntawm cov pa roj carbon fiber ntau los ntawm txheej hauv cov lus qhia sib txawv los txhim kho lub zog thiab nruj ntawm txhua tus qauv. AFP muaj lub peev xwm txav mus rau sab nraud txog li 98 ko taw (30 meters), ua rau nws muaj peev xwm tso tau cov khoom loj tshaj plaws-xws li 91-ko taw ({10}}meter) ntev theem thiab fairings ntawm lub foob pob ua ntxaij Neutron.
AFP tseem yog lub luag haujlwm rau kev tso cov roj tso tsheb hlau luam ntawm thawj theem, uas muaj txoj kab uas hla ntawm 22.9 feet (7 meters), thiab theem thib ob, uas muaj txoj kab uas hla ntawm 16.4 feet (5 meters).
Thaum lub sij hawm ua cov khoom, lub built-in tag nrho automated soj ntsuam system scans rau qhov tsis xws luag los yog flaws nyob rau hauv lub carbon composite qauv thiab pauses ua ntej mus rau lub tom ntej txheej, ceeb toom tus neeg teb xov tooj rau tej teeb meem.
SpaceX's Starship feem ntau yog ua los ntawm cov hlau tsis muaj steel (300 series "HFS," zoo ib yam li "bulletproof" cov khoom siv hauv Cybertruck), thaum Boeing's Starliner tsuas yog siv txhuas alloys. Thaum pib, SpaceX tau txiav txim siab siv CF cov khoom sib xyaw rau Starship, tab sis thaum kawg tau xaiv cov hlau tsis muaj steel vim nws cov nqi-zoo, kub tsis kam, thiab kav ntev.
Rocket Lab cia siab tias kev siv AFP yuav txo cov nqi tsim kho ntawm lub ntiaj teb loj tshaj plaws reusable foob pob hluav taws, thaum tseem ua rau kom ntau lawm ceev thiab yooj yim, thaum kawg txuag tshaj 150,000 txiv neej-teev.
Raws li Rocket Lab lub vev xaib, lub tuam txhab lub hom phiaj yog los tsim thawj Neutron foob pob hluav taws hauv 2025.
