There are several space companies that are in charge of sending rockets and satellites into space in order to gather useful information for the people who work in these companies on our planet. However, the realization of these ships and the entire take-off process that entails on top of it involve a huge amount of expense and is time-consuming.
However, the company Rocket Lab has developed a technology that will make it possible to build rockets every 20 days that can be used for space missions. All this is possible thanks to a robot that works constantly and that started working about a year and a half ago.
Excellent work in a short time
There have been many tests that this robot has had to undergo to ensure that it currently works at a very fast production rate and never seen before. However, to get all this construction process carried out, the robot needs a huge entire space for itself until it finishes manufacturing the rockets and they move on to the next phase of production.
This company is gaining in popularity since it recently signed an agreement with NASA that allowed it to send two spacecraft to Mars and thus investigate the surface of the red planet.
This company aims to make the process of putting satellites into orbit in outer space less expensive , a similar objective that is also followed by other companies such as Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. In fact, last March this company made an official statement in which it showed its future reusable spacecraft that could take people to outer space, like some of its competitors.
The rockets manufactured by Rocket Lab do not have the function of transporting cargo, but they do take off satellites so that they are floating while they work and collect very useful information. From our planet, you can see all the satellites that are currently in orbit .
It will launch satellites, but it will do more things
It also has two parts. One is the most important, the one in charge of propelling the satellites to certain places in space, wherever the company wants it. Another of its functions is also to avoid excess space debris in space.
It has a height of almost 18 meters and a total weight close to 13,000 kilos. It is made of carbon, a very light material and its main energy source is a fuel composed of various chemical elements. This causes the ship to propel itself through up to 10 engines.
Therefore, thanks to this robot it will be possible to create rockets in less time that will deploy satellites that will help collect more data that will be interesting for the future.
