Successful stage separation test campaign ✅ We're validating stage separation for Neutron, one of the most novel rocket separation systems ever designed. From sep system design, component testing and qualification, GSE design, manufacturing, commissioning, and operations planning through to test execution - we're proving out the technology behind one of Neutron's most critical events for mission success. Up next: moving into intentional off-nominal separation events with non-flight test articles to further push the system's resilience.

The strongest quarter in Rocket Lab history

Whoa that’s a full rainbow, all the way, double rainbow ohmygod, it’s a double rainbow all the way

It’s been a good day, Ion thrusters and lasers.

$RKLB New Peter Beck interview on Fox Business! "World domination is definitely part of the Rocket Lab thesis." Love the confidence! And that bloke asking about Neutron looks familiar @FranciscoSpace5 👀

Electron is ready to rise again for @JAXA_en. Our second dedicated mission for JAXA is scheduled to fly from Launch Complex 1 no earlier than April 23. "Kakushin Rising" liftoff is set for: 🚀 3:09 pm NZT / 03:09 UTC, April 23 🚀 12:09 pm JST, April 23 🚀 11:09 pm EDT / 8:00 pm PDT, April 22

Meet Gauss: Our new in-house designed and built electric propulsion system. Electric propulsion satellite thrusters have historically proven extremely difficult to produce in high volumes, causing supply chain fragility for national security and commercial constellation operators alike. We’ve already established the Gauss production line, designed to produce more than 200 thrusters per year, ensuring we can supply thrusters on demand in large quantities.

Rideshare is great for some. Not for others. A dedicated launch on Electron gives small sat customers control over schedule, orbit, launch site, and payload processing. Plus, when you fly dedicated on Electron you get to name the mission 😉

Wet Dress Rehearsal complete and we are GO for launch with our dedicated mission for the European Space Agency @esa on March 25. Window opens from: 🚀 10:00 pm NZT 🚀 10:00 am CET 🚀 09:00 UTC 🚀 5:00 am ET 🚀 2:00 am PT

Rocket = ready Payload = secured Mission = GO for launch Wet Dress Rehearsal is complete for "Eight Days A Week" for @synspective. Target Launch: 🚀 7:10 am NZDT, March 21 🚀 3:10 am JST, March 21 🚀 18:10 UTC, March 20 🚀 2:10 pm EDT, March 20 🚀 11:10 am PDT, March 20

Launch preparations continue for our HASTE hypersonic test mission for @DIU_x and @HypersonixAU. Propellant load is about to begin at LC-2. Accounting for upper level winds, our new T-0 for today's launch is: 🚀4:50 p.m. ET 🚀1:50 p.m. PT 🚀21:50 UTC

Why choose between equity’s performance and tax efficiency and credit’s yield and stability? Stretch was engineered to deliver both. $STRC

This would be a great Super Bowl commercial.

Mission success. Payload deployment confirmed for @open_cosmos. Welcome to orbit! 🛰️🚀

Thanks for stopping by on the Arsenal of Freedom tour, @SecWar. We're proud to be manufacturing innovative space technology at speed and scale in support of critical national security programs.

$RKLB 🚀 NEUTRON OVERVIEW 🧵1/11: Neutron is Rocket Lab's medium-lift reusable orbital launch vehicle designed cost-effective, mega constellation deployment, cargo resupply, and interplanetary missions. Neutron is expected to be on the pad by the end of Q1 2026' with launch there after as soon final checkouts allow 🚀 [🔊Video includes actual Archimedes engine audio from hot fire test]

Cantor Fitzgerald names $RKLB the "premier alternative to SpaceX." 👀 The firm reiterated its Overweight rating as the company heads into a pivotal 2026. $RKLB is coming off its strongest year ever. In 2025, the company successfully completed 21 Electron launches, bringing total missions to 79, and cementing its position as the second most active U.S. launcher. Financial momentum is also building, with record Q3 revenue of ~$155M and a contracted backlog of $1.1B, around 57% of which is expected to convert to revenue within 12 months. The biggest recent catalyst was the $805M SDA Tranche 3 contract, $RKLB's largest ever, which effectively doubled its backlog. Combined with the earlier $515M SDA Tranche 2 award, $RKLB is now designing and manufacturing 36 defense-related spacecraft, reinforcing its transition from a launch provider into a full-scale space prime contractor. Looking ahead, 2026 is all about Neutron. Cantor sees the first Neutron flight, targeted for H1 2026, as the single most important catalyst for the stock. Neutron is expected to materially improve unit economics and position $RKLB as the only viable commercial competitor to SpaceX’s Falcon 9. While risks remain, including potential Neutron delays, regulatory hurdles, or supply-chain disruptions, Cantor believes $RKLB's launch heritage and growing role in space infrastructure put it in a strong position for the next phase of growth.

It was an honor to host @SecWar at Rocket Lab’s Engine Development Complex in Long Beach, CA 🚀🛰️ Space superiority doesn’t start on orbit – it starts on the factory floor. We’re immensely proud to have had the opportunity to show how we’re delivering reliable rockets and spacecraft at the speed and scale that national security demands.

Today's successful launch for @QPS_Inc has set a new annual launch record for Electron: 21 launches in one year with 100% mission success! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀💯
