Electron's payload fairing is designed to decouple payload integration from the main assembly. Rocket Lab's standard process is to integrate payloads at the launch site in a traditional manner.

However, with the Rocket Lab "Plug-In Payload" module, the customer can choose to manage this process using their own preferred facilities and personnel. Environmentally controlled or sealed payload modules are transported back to Rocket Lab where integration with the Electron vehicle can occur in a matter of hours.

Rocket Lab's novel approach eliminates the risk of cascading delays, and enables customers to have standby payloads ready to go.

An apogee kick stage that can execute multiple burns to place numerous payloads into different, circularized orbits. It opens up significantly more orbital options, particularly for rideshare customers that have traditionally been limited to the primary payload’s designated orbit. Powered by Rocket Lab's 3D printed liquid propellant Curie engine capable of 120N of thrust and multiple burns. 


SECOND STAGE

Electron's second stage is powered by a variant of the Rutherford Engine providing improved performance in vacuum conditions.
TOTAL THRUST
22 kN (5,000 lbf)
ISP
333 sec


CARBON COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Electron makes use of advanced carbon composite materials for a strong and lightweight flight structure.

Through an extensive research program, Rocket Lab has developed carbon composite tanks that are compatible with liquid oxygen, providing impressive weight savings.

It flashes because It spins rapidly, reflecting the sun’s rays back to Earth, creating a flashing light that can be seen against a backdrop of stars. Orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes and visible from anywhere on the globe, the Humanity Star is designed to be a bright symbol and reminder to all on Earth about our fragile place in the universe. ]]> 2018-03-13 22:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/apenman1/iv905cp4le8o/wish/241651973 Under The Sky apenman1 https://padlet.com/apenman1/iv905cp4le8o/wish/241652618 "For millennia, humans have focused on their terrestrial lives and issues. Seldom do we as a species stop, look to the stars and realize our position in the universe as an achingly tiny speck of dust in the grandness of it all.

Humanity is finite, and we won't be here forever. Yet in the face of this almost inconceivable insignificance, humanity is capable of great and kind things when we recognize we are one species, responsible for the care of each other, and our planet, together. The Humanity Star is to remind us of this.

No matter where you are in the world, rich or in poverty, in conflict or at peace, everyone will be able to see the bright, blinking Humanity Star orbiting Earth in the night sky. My hope is that everyone looking up at the Humanity Star will look past it to the expanse of the universe, feel a connection to our place in it and think a little differently about their lives, actions and what is important.

Wait for when the Humanity Star is overhead and take your loved ones outside to look up and reflect. You may just feel a connection to the more than seven billion other people on this planet we share this ride with." Peter Beck

  • You can track the Humanity Star’s location at www.TheHumanityStar.com to find out when it will be overhead and visible in your region. Depending on where the Humanity Star’s is in its orbital path, it may be months before it is clearly visible in your part of the world.

  • As the Humanity Star experiences drag from the atmosphere at the lowest point in its orbit, the satellite will slow down creating a slight alteration in the orbital path. For this reason, any predicted pass times more than three days away will only be a general anticipated time, rather than exact viewing times. The farther the anticipated pass time, the less accurate it will be, so check the tracker as the time gets closer for a more accurate calculation. Once a pass is within 24 hours, the accuracy of the Humanity Star’s position will be refined to minutes.

The time in New Zealand will be on 20th of march 2018. and it orbits earth every 90 minutes. That New Zealand made the humanity star which is a highly reflective satellite.
