launch vehicle development

Launch vehicle development involves designing and building rockets capable of carrying payloads, such as satellites or scientific instruments, into space. The process includes creating detailed engineering plans, selecting suitable materials, testing components for safety and performance, and integrating systems like propulsion, navigation, and control. Engineers refine the design through multiple prototypes and rigorous testing to ensure reliability and safety. Once finalized, the launch vehicle undergoes final assembly and validation before launching. This complex process requires collaboration across many specialties to develop a dependable vehicle that can successfully deliver payloads across varying missions.
