rocket silo question

How do automatically deliver blue-chip, LDSs, and rocket-fuel via rocket-silos without them converting them into rocket-parts?
I'd like to ship them; not feed them as fuel for rocket-silo functionality.

Enable the "Automatic requests from space platforms" in your rocket silo. This turns the rocket silo into a de facto requester chest. Make sure it's placed within a logistic network that has the items available.

Then, in your space platform where you want these items, create requests for these items. That's the center part of the space platform hub GUI.

And if that platform is actually in orbit of your planet, the request from the platform will appear as request in the rocket silo just like magic, if there are enough items in the logistic network. According to the request, logistic robots will start delivering the items to the silo, and then a rocket will be started automatically. One rocket will be transporting one type of item at a time only, so if you want to move 3 different items, at least 3 rockets will be started.
