    The Castor 30B produces 293.4 kN (65,960 lb f) average and 395.7 kN (88,960 lb f) maximum thrust, and uses electromechanical thrust vector control. [8] For increased performance, the larger Castor 30XL is available [ 30 ] and will be used on ISS resupply flights to allow Antares to carry the Enhanced Cygnus.

    He then stated that it had a thrust of 1 MN (220,000 lbf) and 320 seconds of specific impulse. The same day, the Neutron page on Rocket Lab's website was updated specifying the thrust of the nine Archimedes engines used on the first stage as 5,960 kN (1,340,000 lbf) at sea level and a maximum thrust of 7,530 kN (1,690,000 lbf) and the upper ...
