Japan's newest rocket scheduled for its maiden voyage this week is designed to be a smaller cheaper way to get science satellites into space.
Advances in pre-flight automation mean that the rocket dubbed Epsilon can be ready to lift off in about a week with fewer people in mission control helping to slash costs to about $38 million per launch much cheaper than its heavier labour-intensive predecessors.
#3d printed rocket engine gets its first fiery test Thought current 3d printing was only good for creating cute plastic versions of teapot lids key rings and other curios?
Now NASA has proved that even rocket motors can be made this way. Engineers led by Tyler Hickman in the Game Changing Technology Program at NASA's Glenn Research center in Cleveland Ohio worked together with rocket motor maker Aerojet Rocketdyne of Sacramento California.
They wondered if additive layer manufacturing the engineer's name for 3d printing could make a precision part called a rocket injector in less time than the year it takes using conventional methods.
Detail are scant because rocket motor designs are covered by US laws that prevent them from being exported revealed to non-Americans.
But the result can be seen in the image above. Fed liquid oxygen and gaseous hydrogen the injector performed perfectly in a series of tests says Aerojet's programme manager Jeff Haynes. Better still it took only four months to make the injector using 3d printing

and two rocket boosters took about two months to turn around (due to damage incurred during launch and splashdown) and cost $100 million.
That price would even undercut the $50 million sum that private spaceflight company Spacex plans to charge to launch cargo on its two-stage Falcon 9 rocket.
The Venturestar demonstrator called X-33 (which graced the cover of this magazine in 1996) was a squat triangular rocket that would take off vertically
Eliminating the expendable rockets needed to boost the shuttle into space could theoretically reduce the cost of launches from $10000 per pound to $1000 per pound.
Expendable rockets make sense for missions beyond low-Earth orbit. They can haul more cargo and more fuel than single-stage craft.
Rockets also offer reliability on average only one out of 20 launches fail in part because they suffer no wear and tear from repeated use.
Finally rockets come with fewer R&d costs as much of the technology has existed since the 1960s. But for routine missions to the ISS or to park a small observational satellite in orbit affordability becomes a critical consideration.
Spacex plans to make rocket stages reusable but there are drawbacks to that too: While it is possible to recover rocket stages designing bits
and pieces to survive reentry in good working order adds a level of complexity and cost.
For rocket scientists nothing matters more than weight. Each pound you put into orbit requires about 10 pounds

So basically a Ram Air (Oxygen) induction that is super cooled used to ignite/burn rocket/hydrogen fuel.

#In Japan, Eight People With Two Laptops Launch A Telescope Into Orbit A new low-cost highly automated rocket from Japan's space agency launched Saturday with just eight crew members and two laptops on-site.
A large control room could be integrated into a single laptop PC the rocket's project manager Yasuhiro Morita said in a statement in 2011.'
'We are trying to make rocket launches much simpler and ordinary events.''The new rocket called Epsilon has artificial intelligence to perform its own safety checks.
Its computer system reduces the number of people needed at a launch site from the 150 that were standard at Japan's previous space launches.
We are trying to make rocket launches much simpler and ordinary events Morita said. The agency retired Epsilon's predecessor a rocket called M-5 seven years ago because of its high costs the BBC reported.
It took $37 million to develop the Epsilon half of what it cost to develop the M-5. The mission was supposed originally to launch in August

Antares is a two-stage rocket and in its first stage it uses a pair of liquid propellant motors originally designed (and constructed!)

Its really difficult to build a low-cost rocket engine and one you can produce in large numbers.
To combat the exorbitant costs of space travel, Rocket Lab is reshaping both the way rocket engines are manufactured
and the way they function. Today at the Space Symposium in Colorado, the company unveiled its brand-new engine, named Rutherford--the first-ever battery-powered rocket engine.
The design, made almost entirely of 3d printed parts, will be used on Rocket Labs Electron orbital launch vehicle,
which will get its first test spin later this year. Rocket engines today more or less follow the same formula.
Liquid fuel and a liquid oxidizer combine within a combustion chamber and ignite. Ultimately its this combustion that thrusts the rocket forward.
However, feeding the propellants into the chamber is complicated a process, requiring separate turbopumps to transport the liquids at super-high speeds into a high-pressure area.

The Rutherford engine will be the main propulsion source for Rocket Labs Electron vehicle which the company hopes to use as a low-cost method for launching satellites and other small payloads of up to 220 pounds into space.
They estimate that their rocket, which is 65 feet long and 3 feet wide, will only cost about $4. 9 million for each liftoff.
