R&D is concentrated on low-pressure, materials-based technologies and lower-cost, high pressure tank technologies for hydrogen storage systems to meet performance targets. Three overarching performance targets for onboard hydrogen storage systems are: gravimetric capacity; volumetric capacity; and system cost. kWh/kg (5.5 kWh/kg (7.5

Electron is the only rocket in the world to successfully reach orbit with structures built almost entirely out of carbon fiber composites. Although a fully-utilized Electron costs more than $25,000 per kilogram, Rocket Lab has found a decent number of customers that find the benefits worth the cost premium.
