Rocket Lab’s new ‘Rosie the Robot’ speeds up launch vehicle production – by a lot
Rosie is entrusted with processing the carbon composite parts of Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle.”We can produce one launch automobile in this machine every 12 hours,” Beck says in the video. In addition to innovations like Rosie, Rocket Lab uses 3D printing for elements of its launch automobile engines that result in single-day turn-around for production, versus weeks using more conventional techniques.
