The nozzle replaces outdated nozzles from 2017 and prior. Advantages of the new nozzle are primarily greater thrust, a greater period of thrust, longer rocket flight distance time, and a greater deep space penetration range.
The nozzle has the ability to regulate the flow of fuel during consumption and rocket flight. Off the shelf re-nozzles are already adjusted to specific flow rates and have no moving parts for the highest level of reliability. Nozzles are shape adjusted to the type of launcher and rocket, fuel, chemical composition, viscosity, temperature, and pressure.
