In 2024, #RocketLab sent 12 missions into space 🚀, making the company the number two 🥈 #US launch provider. The company also has a growing business building #satellites 🛰️ and small spacecraft, with four already built and launched, and some 40 more under construction, including two for #NASA’s #EscaPADE mission to #Mars 🔴. The medium-lift, semi-reusable #Neutron would compete directly with #SpaceX’s #Falcon fastcompany.com/91270182/space

#Neutron offers three mission profiles: return-to-launch-site (RTLS) for propulsive landings back at #Wallops’ Launch Complex 3 (LC-3)*; down-range landing (DRL) for precision ocean touchdowns, maximizing performance; and fully expendable configurations that boost the rocket’s payload capacity from 13,000 kg to 15,000 kg. Stage two sits entirely inside stage one, with fairings that open rather than separating from the vehicle nasaspaceflight.com/2025/10/be

🚀 Rocket Lab (📷) a inauguré hier un nouveau pas de tir à Wallops en Virginie : Launch Complex 3 (LC-3). Les officiels ont eu le droit au déluge d'eau.
C'est de là que va décoller (fin de l'année ?) le lanceur lourd et partiellement réutilisable #Neutron

New track & video out now! youtu.be/PDIlsm3GYtM

#ambient #behringer #semimodular #modular jam. So many spaghetti cables! #patching all of this was fun! The signal flow is all over the place, only one of the three synths' output into the mixer isn't muted, the other two send their signals into the #neutron for the #delay 🤣

Have fun listening and watching!

🚀 Rocket Lab (📷) a terminé la qualification du second étage de son nouveau lanceur #Neutron : essais sous pression, opérations de type vol combinant logiciel de vol, avionique, systèmes GNC , ... dans des conditions cryogéniques.
Le vol inaugural est prévu au 2e semestre 2025

Some do ask really good questions too. #soundcloud #music #synth

"Crawfish Bucket Brigade Part I" was all done on the #Behringer #Neutron. It is monophonic, (well, technically paraphonic 2 voice), but the filter can be mixed separately and then there is the noise source and the bucket brigade delay itself brings another layer, and depending on the mix level, a variety.
