Rocket Lab’s forthcoming Neutron heavy-lift launch vehicle has undergone a design tweak, with the fairing now consisting of two halves, rather than the original four quarters (as shown in the inset image at the top right). The new conceptual images, released in late July, suggest a number of other changes as well, but the reusable rocket’s basic functions and specifications remain unaltered.
