Rocket Lab Neutron Stage 2 separation testing Warkworth New Zealand today. The test version of Stage 2 lowered into the test version of the Interstage where it "hangs". A very slow and careful operation - very precise work by the lady that drives the crane. I met her proud parents watching her work while I was there.

@RocketLab @DeptofWar 🚀

Our largest launch contract yet: 20x new HASTE launches for @DeptofWar to accelerate hypersonics for America. We're delivering reliable, modern hypersonic capabilities to the nation with speed and affordability - and the first mission in this block of launches is just months away🚀

@RocketLab 🚀

Manifest: Now 70+ launches. Backlog: Over $2B. Launch contracts: 28 sold in Q1 so far, almost as many as were sold in the full year 2025. More details: bit.ly/41hAxac

$RKLB 🌏🇳🇿🇺🇲🇦🇺🇨🇦🇩🇪🇬🇧🇰🇷🇯🇵... Inside @RocketLab sub-$17 million Venus life-finder mission. Let's go to Venus, Mars the Moon and beyond with Rocket Lab 🚀 ✨️. youtu.be/cwLhDPPiZxY?si…

We are absolutely in a race with China to the Moon, and the margin between first and second could be measured in months. That is why we will be launching Moon rockets more often, strengthening our partnerships with industry, and executing President Trump’s plan to return American astronauts to the lunar surface in 2028.

Humans on Mars. Science at Mars. Exploration of Mars. It all relies on communications. Rocket Lab's Mars Telecommunications Orbiter will make it possible 📡🛰️ 🚀 🧑‍🚀

That's one hungry-looking hippo inside Neutron's Assembly & Integration Complex in Virginia. Our carbon composite reusable fairing - the first of its kind! - is undergoing final fluids and avionics integration, end-to-end systems testing, and installation of its canards and thermal protection system.

It’s launch day for the “That’s Not A Knife” hypersonic test mission for @DIU_x & @HypersonixAU. HASTE is vertical on the pad and getting ready for launch in T-4 hrs from LC-2. Target liftoff NET: 🚀4:00pm ET 🚀1:00pm PT 🚀21:00 UTC

With the 4.3m fairing on today's HASTE rocket, this launch will fly with one of our longest fairings ever.
