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.
Another dedicated ride to LEO is coming soon for @synspective 🦉🛰️ Electron will lift off this week from Launch Complex 1 to deliver the 12th StriX synthetic aperture radar satellite to space and continue the expansion of their Earth-monitoring constellation.

Schedule certainty and precise payload deployment, delivered once again by Electron on our 95th overall launch and 16th mission this year 🚀 With our next commercial constellation launch scheduled in the coming days, Electron's cadence for dedicated small satellite missions remains unmatched.
Rocket Lab has filed a formal protest with the Government Accountability Office challenging NASA’s award decision for the Mars Telecommunications Network. NASA’s award decision appears to be inconsistent with the eligibility criteria mandated by Congress. In addition, the agency’s punitive review of Rocket Lab's technical volume was inconsistent, making incorrect assertions and conclusions. Procurement standards exist to ensure fair competition and protect public investment. We are pursuing this review to ensure those standards are upheld for critical infrastructure that will underpin American exploration at Mars for decades to come.
'Happily Ever Faster' to orbit 🌌✨ Today we launched our 95th Electron at 3:28 pm NZST and deployed a single Earth observation satellite to a 500km LEO for a confidential customer - our 16th mission of the year with 100% mission success.
For the first time, we're opening our doors at Wallops Island for an exclusive hiring event at Launch Complexes 2 and 3. We welcome engineers and technicians who are exceptionally good at what they do and want to see technology they helped build leave the planet. Accepted candidates will get the rare opportunity to tour our launch pads and facilities, meet with our engineering teams, and interview one-on-one with department leaders Open Positions: 🔧 Testing Engineers – Vehicle, Avionics, Launch Pad 🔧 Ground Systems Engineers 🔧 Vehicle Integration Engineers 🔧 Mechanical Technicians 🔧 Senior Vehicle Integration and Test Technicians 🔧 Fluids Engineers 🔧 Propulsion Engineers Apply here: bit.ly/4xkRE8O
For the last three decades, conventional, multi-junction solar cells have largely relied on germanium wafers. Today, Rocket Lab announced the production release of IMM Apex, our germanium-free new high-efficiency solar cell to reduce reliance on the supply-constrained critical metals.

@isaraerospace Congrats team. Orbit is hard-won and a massive achievement 🚀
Rocket Lab has been the sole launch provider for @synspective since 2020, with our 11th Electron mission for them successfully launching last week. Flying dedicated gives constellation operators like Synspective control over launch schedule, launch site, and orbit, enabling them to deploy their constellation exactly how they want to without compromise. We're booked to fly 16 more missions for Synspective to deploy the rest of their constellation, so we're still just warming up! (and we're gonna need more owl themed mission names 🦉)
We’ve successfully passed our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the 18 satellites we're building for @SemperCitiusSDA's Tracking Layer Tranche 3 (TRKT3) constellation. A big step forward in delivering advanced missile warning & defense capabilities for the U.S. and its allies.
Liftoff for Electron for the 94th time. Today's 'Owl Around The World' mission for @synspective by the numbers: 🎯15th launch of the year with 100% mission success 🛰️11th StriX satellite deployed by Electron 🚀16 more missions for @synspective before 2030
PAYLOAD DEPLOYMENT CONFIRMED and mission success once again for Electron and @synspective 🚀
Successful SECO confirmed and nominal transfer orbit achieved for @synsective's StriX Earth-imaging satellite. Payload deployment expected in ~46 mins
LIFTOFF! Electron has launched for the 94th time🚀
