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.

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.

From Long Beach to orbit!

Built and tested for MDA space at Rocket Lab’s headquarters, our advanced satellite platforms are supporting Globalstar’s direct-to-device communications services and IoT applications.

This image was captured from one of our Lightning platforms shortly after it started its new life in orbit.

Rocket Lab has been selected by the USSpaceForce for the Space Data Network Consortium and awarded $12m in contracts to support the development of a secure, high-speed global communications network for military operations.

As part of the SDN Backbone program, Rocket Lab will design, test, and demonstrate technologies that enable seamless, secure, optical, communication, communications between satellites and ground system.

Rocket Lab will also deliver an in-orbit demonstration of our Photon spacecraft, helping prove interoperability for the Space Force’s resilient, low-latency data transport network.
