Rocket Lab USA, Inc. Proposal to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Technology Announcement of Collaborative Opportunity (ACO)

PI: Richard French, Rocket Lab Space Systems

Overview
Maturation Objectives

Advanced re-entry and recovery technologies are critical for reliably transporting humans and payloads to and from space. Testing aims to mature these capabilities on a Rocket Lab vehicle. Its recoverable first stage may ultimately provide access to high-speed, high-temperature re-entry environments for testing. This has the potential to benefit NASA missions and the commercial space industry
