Famous 'garden gnome' Chompski (known from Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Half-Life: Alyx) is going to space as a 'mass simulator' on Rocket Lab's Electron rocket flight 16.
The mission serves as an homage to the innovation and creativity of gamers worldwide, and also aims to test and qualify a novel 3D printing technique that could be employed for future spacecraft components.
The 150 mm gnome will remain attached to the Kick Stage during all mission phases and will burn up upon re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere during the de-orbiting process.
