Production of the new carbon composite forward dome for Neutron’s Stage 1 propellant tank is underway. Our automated fiber placement (AFP) machine follows a computer-controlled course to lay down thousands of strands of carbon fiber - each thinner than a human hair - at speeds of up to 100 meters per minute to create Stage 1’s structures on custom molds. Once the AFP machine is finished with the new forward dome it will be rolled out, inspected, then prepared for the curing process to harden the carbon composite.

Wet Dress Rehearsal DONE ✅ Electron is ready for its 98th launch and latest mission from Launch Complex 1. 'We're Not Hawking Around' will deploy 3x HAWK satellites to a 520km LEO for @hawkeye360 to expand their RF-sensing constellation that collects signal data for maritime tracking, radar monitoring, and more. The launch window opens tomorrow, Oct 21: 🚀8:00pm NZDT 🚀07:00 UTC 🚀3:00 am EDT 🚀00:00 am PDT

Congratulations to the team in Munich who continue to deliver mission-critical communications capability to customers, while scaling production to meet growing demand.

Great to have you through our Long Beach production complex, @CAgovernor! Proud to be building on California's extensive aerospace heritage and creating the future.

28.1 miles on Mars, powered by Rocket Lab hardware. NASA's Perseverance rover has now driven 28.1 miles (45.2 km) across the Red Planet in just five and a half years, breaking an off-world driving record that took Opportunity nearly 15 years to set. Rocket Lab solar panels powered Perseverance's cruise to Mars, then on the surface, Rocket Lab Robotics (formerly Motiv Space Systems) hardware helps turn those miles into science — from the Mastcam-Z camera mechanisms that zoom in on targets, to the 7-foot robotic arm placing instruments against Martian rock with sub-millimeter precision. Every mile is another step in the search for signs of ancient life.

Today we shared an update on Neutron's development, including adjusting the schedule for flight one to 2027. Full details: investors.rocketlabcorp.com/…

When it comes to dedicated small launch, nothing flies more often than Electron 🚀 We're proud to keep that momentum going in the lead up to our 100th launch. Here's what's on the manifest for our next three missions: 🦅 "We're Not Hawking Around" – @HawkEye360 | NET Oct 21 🌊 "The Sea God Surveys" – @QPS_Inc | NET Nov 4 ⛰️ "The Mountain God Rises" – @QPS_Inc | NET Nov 10

VICTUS HAZE is an iconic mission, and @SpaceNews_Inc agrees. We're proud to be a finalist for Military Space Achievement at the 2026 SpaceNews Icon Awards, alongside our VICTUS HAZE teammates @USSpaceForce and @The_TrueAnomaly. We built a highly capable spacecraft, launched it in record time, commissioned it rapidly, and executed advanced rendezvous and proximity operations to deliver one of the Space Force's most advanced tactically responsive missions to date.

My interview with Frank Klein and Dr. Brad Clevenger premieres 30 minutes before the market opens! 🚀 piped.video/CIMQvRFW2y0 I’m excited for you all to see this conversation from my visit to Mynaric in Germany. I recorded an introduction to give you some context from the visit. It’s a little longer than I originally planned, but the factory tour will be released separately after Rocket Lab has reviewed it, so I felt that context was worth including ahead of the interview. A huge thank you to Rocket Lab for organizing the visit, and to Frank and Brad for taking the time to speak with me. Looking forward to hearing what you think! @RocketLab #RocketLab #Mynaric #RKLB

Media accreditation is now open for our 100th Electron launch. Join us at Launch Complex 1 for flight 100 to set remote cameras, get a behind-the-scenes tour of the world’s first private orbital launch site, meet the Rocket Lab launch team, watch our 100th lift-off in person. Apply now: rocketlabcorp.com/100th-laun…

Just finished the interview and the tour of Mynaric! Thank you @RocketLab for hosting me! Mynaric has mind blowing technology and amazing people and they are scaling very well 🔥🔥🔥 The interview with Frank Klein and Dr Brad Clevenger was full of key data. I think you guys are not going to want to miss it. Here is a picture of me in the Mynaric factory! Thank you Matt and Paul and all the awesome people I have met today.

Our factories have never been busier as we scale production of rockets and spacecraft. Manufacturing engineers are at the core of this and we’re hiring more in the US and New Zealand. Join the team: bit.ly/47sPMQM

A decade of launches from the edge of the world 🚀🇳🇿 Ten years ago, Launch Complex 1 was officially opened and became the world's first private orbital launch site. What seemed like a crazy idea - making dedicated launches to space frequent and affordable from a farm paddock in New Zealand - is now routine. Across Electron's history, LC-1 has been the launch location for commercial smallsats and science missions, national security payloads, and even a mission to the Moon. Two launch pads and almost 100 launches later, LC-1 has made New Zealand one of the world's busiest launch countries - proving big things can happen in the most unexpected locations.
