Neutron testing continues at our Space Structures Complex in Middle River with the thrust structure 🚀 This is one of the most complex parts of the rocket that must be able to withstand 2.1 million pounds of thrust during tests - more than 44 Electrons combined!

More than 100 spacecraft were safely deployed to precise orbits by Rocket Lab separation systems in 2025, soaring past our previous annual record of 64 separations.
Another year of 100% mission success for these critical systems

A family portrait from deep space, captured by Rocket Lab-built spacecraft on their way to Mars.
The ESCAPADE twins snapped these stunning shots of Earth (left) and the Moon (right) from 363,000+ miles out, capturing both visible and thermal infrared light. https://t.co/IEp8eGo7EP

Say cheese, Earth and Moon! 📸
One of our two Mars-bound ESCAPADE spacecraft captured Earth and the Moon from 363,250 miles (584,600 kilometers) away. In visible light, both worlds appear as slim crescents.
But switch to thermal infrared and it’s a different…

Responsive launch needs responsive launch sites.
With Launch Complex 1, we built the world's first private orbital launch site giving us launch availability 24/7, 365. Launch Complex 2 was built in just 10 months to bring small launch and hypersonic test launch to the U.S. East Coast, and Launch Complex 3 right next door unlocks medium launch capability with Neutron.
Next up: Alaska, and Rocket Lab Launch Complex 4. New orbits, new azimuths, a new era in responsive space.
