#Neutron offers three mission profiles: return-to-launch-site (RTLS) for propulsive landings back at #Wallops’ Launch Complex 3 (LC-3)*; down-range landing (DRL) for precision ocean touchdowns, maximizing performance; and fully expendable configurations that boost the rocket’s payload capacity from 13,000 kg to 15,000 kg. Stage two sits entirely inside stage one, with fairings that open rather than separating from the vehicle https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2025/10/beck-neutron-update

Got to watch the last #Antares 230 series launch from #Wallops on Tuesday. Heading up for #ISS resupply and to deliver some #science #experiments via the #Cygnus cargo vessel. Capture expected tomorrow. This was pretty incredible to watch in person, the video didn't really capture the way the sound felt.
