Ok, I get it - it's a Rocket Launch System on wheels - sort of.

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

All components (rockets, launch infrastructure, ground support, and range control systems) for GHOST are shipped in standard shipping containers. The first location to be supported with 2 launch pads will be at Pacific Spaceport Complex at Kodiak, Alaska. https://dailygalaxy.com/2026/08/rocket-lab-unveils-ghost-mobile-spaceport/ #Space #Satellites #GHOST #RocketLabs #HASTE #Electron #RocketLaunch #PacificSpacePort #RKLB #SpaceLaunchSystem
