Mission update: The launch date for the ‘Ten Owl Of Ten’ mission for @synspective is being adjusted to conduct additional checkouts before launch. Standby for the new launch date soon.

Payload integration complete. The StriX satellite for @synspective has been encapsulated on Electron ahead of our next mission to low Earth orbit for their Earth-imaging constellation. 'Ten Owl Of Ten' - our 90th Electron launch - is scheduled for launch NET June 18 NZT.

More rockets in the hangar at LC-1 than we’ve ever had before. We’re lining up a busy few weeks of back-to-back-to-back-to-back launches from the world’s first private orbital launch site 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Rocket Lab is being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index. This is a landmark moment for the team. We're incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved, and even more excited about what is still to come.

@ashleevance Sequel?

If only someone had predicted the rise of the space economy and industry in Low Earth Orbit

Fresh rockets rolling off the line. Factory is busier than ever. Our 100th Electron rocket is in this lineup.

“Launch is access to space and if you don’t have access to space, everything else is irrelevant.” Peter Beck joins @edels0n to talk about what it means to be an end-to-end space company, the biggest challenges in space that need solving, and what the industry will look like over the next decade. 📺 Watch: youtu.be/oiMLm0h_jRw?si…

We're preparing for our next Electron launch from LC-1 for @synspective (our 10th to deploy their Earth-observation constellation) with our upcoming mission 'Ten Owl Of Ten' 🦉 Launch window opens NET June 18: 🚀 8:40 am NZST 🚀 5:40 am JST 🚀 20:40 UTC (June 17) 🚀 4:40 pm ET (June 17) 🚀 1:40 pm PT (June 17)

Rocket Lab 🤝 Mars From orbiters and landers to rovers and helicopters – our technology has enabled some of the most ambitious Mars missions in history. With Motiv (creators of Perseverance's robotic arm) now part of Rocket Lab, we're one of the few companies capable of delivering complete Mars mission solutions, including launch + spacecraft + software, and now proven robotics for surface and orbital operations too.

Why we fit test: 🔧To make sure all interfaces between the engine and the rest of Neutron work in real-life as they do in the design space. 🚀Prepare for integration to fully assemble Neutron for test before launch.

We have successfully passed System Requirements Review for the Space Development Agency's Tracking Layer Tranche 3 constellation. This milestone advances the program that will see Rocket Lab deliver satellites equipped with advanced missile warning, tracking, and defense capabilities to U.S. and allied national security.

We have officially acquired Motiv Space Systems. Motiv – now Rocket Lab Robotics – brings mission-tested Mars heritage with advanced multi-degree of freedom robotic arms, actuators, and drive electronics that have enabled some of the most ambitious planetary exploration missions in history, including NASA's Mars Perseverance rover. We're now one of few companies in the world capable of delivering end-to-end Mars mission solutions including launch, spacecraft, software, and proven robotics for surface and on-orbit operations. This unique capability positions us to lead programs like Mars Sample Return mission and the Mars Telecommunications Network.

Another liftoff angle for 'Viva La StriX' and @synspective on Electron launch #88. That's 9 launches with 100% mission success completed for Synspective and another 18 more to go before 2030.

Nine years ago today, we launched Electron for the first time. Later this year, Electron is expected to reach 100 launches, likely making it the fastest privately developed orbital rocket to hit that milestone. From “It’s a test” to one of the world’s highest cadence launch vehicles in under a decade. Here's a little walk down memory lane from that first historic launch.

The interstage achieved qualification load (approximately 125% of flight load) but ultimately tested to failure. Not part of the plan, but not entirely unexpected either as we validate design margins. This result gives us added conviction to the overall design and hardware for the next one, which is already in the factory. Currently, no expected impact to schedule.

Rocket Lab Space Structures Complex Update May 22, 2026 Middle River, Maryland A crack has formed on the Neutron interstage that has been on the stand for several weeks. Checking from several angles, it appears the crack goes most, if not all, of the way around. Cranes have arrived on-site which usually indicates they will be moving the hardware, likely back inside for further analysis. @NASASpaceflight
