Rocket Lab Fires Archimedes at Full Power
0:00 The Engine Fit-Check That Changes Everything
0:44 The High-Pressure Tradeoff of Staged Combustion
1:55 The Hungry Hippo Structural Tax
2:52 3D Printing and Thermal Fatigue
3:24 The Signal Under the Noise
Rocket Lab just completed a full-duration hot fire of the Archimedes engine. See how this 3D-printed engine powers the Neutron rocket's first flight. We analyze the high-pressure tradeoffs of staged combustion, the structural tax of the engine mount, and how 3D-printed components survive extreme thermal fatigue. Learn what the latest test data reveals about the future of orbital launches.
