Rocket Lab joins Raytheon on space interceptor program for Golden Dome

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://spacenews.com/rocket-lab-joins-raytheon-on-space-interceptor-program-for-golden-dome/

#SpaceX launched 165 #Falcon9 missions in 2025. Of those, 122 - or ~74% - were dedicated #Starlink launches.

“We thought we had the launch thing solved, but it’s actually now a bit of a pain in the butt to get manifested on SpaceX. You have to go through launch integrators. They buy up all capacity”

Over half of #RocketLab's revenue 💵 now comes from its #SpaceSystems division, which builds #satellites 🛰️, avionics, solar ☀️ arrays and flight computers 💻 for #DeepSpace. The #Electron rocket 🚀 became the fastest launch vehicle to reach 50 missions in June 2024. #Neutron will be capable of launching probes to #Mars 🔴 and other deep-space destinations. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/if-its-possible-it-must-be-done-rocket-lab-ceo-peter-beck-has-his-eyes-on-missions-to-mars-and-venus

#Astroscale's Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (#RPO) includes #SpaceDebris 🗑️ observation, as well as approach, capture, and #deorbit. The Active Debris Removal was due to launch in 📆 November aboard a #RocketLab #Electron launch vehicle 🚀. The mission is currently on hold after Rocket Lab suffered an anomaly on September 19. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/japanese-spacecraft-large-space-debris
