Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period.
Rocket Lab has also developed a design for a larger sub-orbital vehicle, capable of carrying payloads of up to 70kg to space. Peak altitude for a nominal payload mass of 25kg is approximately 250km.
Ātea-2 is designed purely as a vehicle to conduct scientific research. Its design ethos enables it to undertake a variety of mission profiles with minimal reconfiguration. The vehicle can be clustered to provide large launch payload weights and shortened if lower altitudes or payload weights are desired.
The principle is to have a completely flexible vehicle that can be configured easily to differing launch profiles.
Ātea-2 Rocket Vs Car C02 Output - An average car produces approximately 2,000 kg of C02 per year, (based on 5,000 miles of travelling). A single Ātea rocket produces 14 kg of C02 per launch - roughly equivalent to running one car for three days.
