Work at Launch Complex 3:

Launch Complex 3 is almost complete and on track for its official opening next month 🏗️ Our team in Virginia is deep into launch pad activation, going system by system to prepare for test operations once flight hardware arrives ahead of Neutron’s first launch.

We’re proud to support @SemperCitiusSDA in building a resilient, proliferated, and affordable space-based architecture for the joint warfighter—delivering diverse, end-to-end space solutions that strengthen national security.

There’s more than just rockets in this Lab — we also design and manufacture our own high-performance components for space systems and satellites, from star trackers to separation systems. End-to-end.

Our ESCAPADE twins, Blue & Gold, are currently undergoing routine checkups and testing as they get ready for their return to Florida—next stop: Mars.🛰️🛰️🔴. These two Rocket Lab-built spacecraft will study the Martian magnetosphere as part of @NASA and @ucbssl ESCAPADE mission.

We’ve signed an agreement with @BollingerShip to complete the build-out of our 400ft landing platform for Neutron missions that return to Earth at sea – expanding our development of Neutron recovery infrastructure to Louisiana⚓🚀 Learn more:

It was an honor to host Gen. Stephen Whiting, Commander of U.S. Space Command, for a recent tour of the production line for our Electron and HASTE launch vehicles. We’re proud to support both national security and commercial missions with responsive launch, innovative

Sending humans to Mars begins with communication. We’re ready to deliver a Mars Telecommunications Orbiter that will support future human exploration and groundbreaking science. ✅Firm-fixed pricing. ✅Flight-proven tech. ✅On-time delivery. Past flagship programs have faced

What does it take to produce spacecraft at scale? At Rocket Lab, it takes expert teams, vertical integration, and a whole lot of precision. From structure and harnesses to full spacecraft assembly and testing—our team builds it all. Go behind the scenes with us 👇.📽️ Watch the

Design locked 🔒 On to production ✅. We’ve completed CDR for @SemperCitiusSDA’s Tranche 2 Transport Layer constellation, confirming we’re mission-ready to build 18 🛰️to power real-time, resilient comms in low Earth orbit. This is national security space built at scale. Read

@NASA After nearly 4 months in space, CAPSTONE successfully entered NRHO on Nov 13, 2022, becoming the first spacecraft to do so. Mission: Accomplished. 🌑 Happy Anniversary, CAPSTONE!

@NASA The mission’s purpose? To demonstrate a Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit around the Moon. CAPSTONE aimed to reduce risk and validate operational concepts for future missions using the same lunar orbit.

@NASA Once Electron reached low Earth orbit, our inaugural interplanetary spacecraft bus, Lunar Photon, took the reins. Over 6 days, our spacecraft performed precise elliptical phasing orbits to build velocity before executing a trans lunar injection on July 4, 2022, to successfully.

On June 28, 2022, Electron’s 27th mission lifted off from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand carrying @NASA’s Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment (CAPSTONE) 25kg CubeSat bound for lunar orbit. 📽️ Watch the launch:

🚀🛰️ #RKLB TO THE MOON (literally!) We’ve just celebrated the 3rd anniversary of the CAPSTONE mission to the Moon for @NASA and @AdvancedSpace – launched on our Electron rocket and delivered with our Lunar Photon spacecraft! . This milestone marked Rocket Lab’s debut in
