Neutron operations are busy on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Our Hungry Hippo fairing has wrapped up pre-flight testing at our Assembly and Integration Complex while down the road at Launch Complex 3, we've completed installation of the ~10m test stand for Neutron's second stage. Neutron's thrust module will be directly tested on the launch mount itself, to verify rocket-to-launch mount interfaces ahead of full vehicle tests on the pad.
The countdown is underway at Launch Complex 1 with our 12th Electron launch and latest Earth-observation mission for synspective

Rocket Lab began as a small launch company. Today, our rockets, spacecraft, and components power hundreds of missions for science and exploration, national security, and commercial constellations.
Here's a tiny glimpse of how far we've evolved since Electron's first launch less than 10 years ago.
Rockets unlock space. Satellites do the work. We build and operate both.

Think Rocket Lab only operates in low Earth orbit? Think again.
When a spacecraft orbits the Moon, touches down on the lunar surface, or charts a course across deep space to Mars, there's a strong chance Rocket Lab technology helped it get there and deliver mission success.
Through our launch, spacecraft, solar power, separation systems, software, operations, and robotics solutions, weβre proud to support historic planetary exploration missions across the solar system. π§΅π
