Rocket Lab USA

Rocket Lab USA operates as a vertically integrated space company providing end-to-end services spanning launch, spacecraft manufacturing and on-orbit operations. The company Electron rocket serves as the second most frequently launched U.S. orbital vehicle, delivering payloads for commercial satellite operators and government agencies across a range of orbital destinations and mission profiles.

The company manufactures spacecraft components including reaction wheels for attitude control, star trackers for navigation and solar panels for power generation. These systems support missions across low Earth orbit and beyond. Rocket Lab also develops Neutron, a medium-lift reusable launch vehicle designed for satellite constellation deployment, interplanetary missions and crewed spaceflight applications that require heavier payload capacity than Electron can deliver.

Rocket Lab operates launch facilities in New Zealand and at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Virginia, enabling flexible mission scheduling and access to multiple orbital inclinations. The company has delivered more than 180 satellites to orbit across commercial, civil and national security programs. Its capabilities extend beyond launch services to encompass spacecraft bus production through its Photon platform, mission design, ground station operations and long-term operational support throughout the full orbital lifecycle of deployed assets.
