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.

Rocket Lab has been awarded a $397M contract by the USSpaceForce to build multiple advanced Flatellite spacecraft for the SB-AMTI program, and launch them on Neutron.

We're proud to enhance global security by deploying a resilient space-based system to detect and track airborne threats in real time.

Neutron has been selected for a dedicated launch by KeplerComms as part of their largest network expansion yet - the first time Kepler has booked an entire rocket for constellation deployment rather than fly rideshare.

Introducing GHOST.

We’ve mastered the art of building launch sites. Now we’re making them deployable worldwide.

GHOST = Global Hypersonic & Orbital Spaceport Technology. A containerized, deployable launch site system that enables Electron and HASTE launches anywhere, anytime.

Missile defense. Responsive launch. Sovereign launch capability. Delivered where it's needed most.

Coming soon across two pads in Alaska in 2027.

Rocket Lab Germany is here.

Europe faces glaring gaps across both launch and spacecraft manufacturing. Rocket Lab Germany addresses these directly, combining opportunities for high-frequency access to space with high-volume satellite production to deploy resilient constellations on rapid timelines.

In missile defense, analysis only gets you so far. Real security and deterrence needs hardware that's tested quickly from the locations that matter.

Our GHOST deployable launch system brings all three: the rockets, the infrastructure, and the experience of operating the world's most frequently-launched small lift rockets.
