Not much time off during the Xmas holidays @vectorspacesys We've been busy assembling & testing. Here's some engine porn for your viewing pleasure. Its a Stage 2 engine going up on B1001. It has the heavier ablative nozzle but 1003 & later will have a lighter carbon-carbon nozzle

Final step in process of making Vector-R 1st stage engine nozzle: Carbon overlay being placed on phenolic ablative core (orange material inside). This is a 'wet-laying' procedure, whereby carbon fiber is wetted in an epoxy bath before being placed, excess fiber is then removed

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vector, a space access company serving the over $300 billion space market, today announced it will conduct a dedicated launch of a nanosatellite for Hiber later this year from the Pacific Spaceport Complex – Alaska in Kodiak. Hiber, a Dutch company with two nanosatellites already in orbit, plans to utilize the Vector-R dedicated small satellite launch system to deploy its nanosatellite.

"There are many risk factors that inherently come with launching satellites, but Vector's dedicated launch model significantly reduces that risk for satellite operators. Vector is thrilled to have Hiber as one of our first payload customers," said Robert R. Cleave, Chief Revenue Officer at Vector. "We are honored to be sel ected to launch this important mission."

Hiber was founded in 2016 with the goal to deliver Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to the 90% of the globe currently lacking a network. It is the first Dutch commercial satellite operator and, as of November 2018, is the first organization to be providing a fully global IoT-connectivity network. Hiber is already working with more than 25 customers, including the British Antarctic Survey, which is using the network to transmit data fr om remote measurement stations currently lacking satellite communications. It has also partnered with EduClima, which is bringing climate stations to schools in remote areas of Peru, Tanzania, and Sri Lanka in order to education tomorrow's smart farmers, and Blik Sensing, which is managing water resources by providing insight into global groundwater levels.

"Vector is an important partner who will help us achieve our goals. They offer the type of product and the size of payload we need to achieve orbit. As a start-up in the booming NewSpace industry, it is important for us to work with a company like Vector who clearly has the background and expertise to help us continue to successfully launch our satellites," said Maarten Engelen, Chief Technology Officer at Hiber. "Vector has worked closely with our team to ensure our confidence, and we look forward to working with the team on the launch of our third nanosatellite and on missions to come."

Coming on the heels of its Series B funding, Vector recently expanded its sales and marketing teams, including the hire of a Chief Revenue Officer, Robert R. Cleave. Vector has made significant strides over the last year toward its first orbital launch by achieving many technical milestones and proving out the company's responsive launch capabilities, a major differentiator in the small satellite launch industry. Throughout 2019, Vector will ramp up testing of critical elements of the Vector-R launch vehicle, leading up to its inaugural orbital launch.

Propylene fuel arrives on Kodiak, Pad C for Vector is complete and @vectorspacesys Vector-R 1001 ready for shipment to Arizona Test Site on Feb 8 for stage testing. Meanwhile, USG shutdown stops FAA's ability to finish our launch license. Hoping DC gets its act together soon.

Another great milestone for @vectorspacesys last night in the Arizona desert - a full duration LP1 first stage engine test for the Vector-R. Also a night test which was very cool. Enjoy.

Проблемы нет, но дилетанту, привыкшему на фотках ракет видеть всякий хайтек, эта ракета рвет шаблон: простые материалы вроде той же пробки, мотанные сопла с неряшливой внешней поверхностью, "гаражная" атмосфера сборочного цеха...
