Very fun conversation - next time I’m bringing adult beverage

Great time spent with @offnom today, thanks for having us! You're right, the sun never sets on our {space} empire 😎🚀🛰️

Incredible mission!

W-1 back on Earth

Coming in 🔥HOT🔥 after separation from our spacecraft

Our very first spacecraft, Photon, was evolved from Electron's Kick Stage. Four years after Photon's introduction, the Rocket Lab spacecraft family has grown considerably. Our spacecraft have enabled lunar missions, in-space manufacturing, and soon they're headed to Mars. With more than 40 spacecraft in development and production, we're just getting started.

Amazing to see this one live

Our ESCAPADE spacecraft for @NASA and @ucbssl have been going through some very exciting times 🛰️ The lead spacecraft (Blue) recently completed vibe and shock testing and is gearing up for TVAC. Gold (the second spacecraft) is following closely behind and going through component closeout. Not long to go before Blue and Gold get to meet the Red Planet!

As development progresses on the 18 spacecraft we’re building for @SemperCitiusSDA, we were delighted to host SDA Director Derek Tournear at our Long Beach HQ and spacecraft production complex this week. We’re proud to support SDA’s Tranche 2 Transport Layer-Beta and deliver next-generation space capabilities to the nation.

How do Rutherford engines cope with a dip in the ocean? Remarkably well. This engine was plucked from the water in one of our marine recovery missions and it performed flawlessly in a full duration hot fire. bit.ly/3lvH3cn

It's official: CAPSTONE is SmallSat Mission of the Year! Congrats to our mission partners @NASAAmes, @AdvancedSpace, @TerranOrbital and thank you to the AIAA small satellite technical committee. CAPSTONE will always be a special mission to our team & this is the cherry on top 🎉

MISSION SUCCESS! Our first of two back-to-back national security launches for the @NatReconOfc lifted off from Launch Complex 1 at 06:30 UTC, July 13. Congratulations to the NRO and @DefenceAust on a successful deployment. Welcome to orbit!

We’re proud to have supported on-orbit optical inter-satellite links between the Mandrake 2 satellites under @DARPA’s Blackjack project. Our Colorado team played a leading mission role through our MAX Flight Software, GNC design & analysis, MAX Ground Data System, & mission ops.

MISSION SUCCESS! The final HyperCurie engine is complete and #CAPSTONE has separated from Lunar Photon to begin its solo journey to the Moon for @NASA to test a never-before-flown orbit.

#CAPSTONE is on its way to the Moon! A flawless launch by Electron and great first burns by Photon's HyperCurie engine. Stay tuned for mission milestones and updates on the way to lunar orbit in the coming days and weeks. 🚀🌑🛰️

Our 27th Electron rocket takes flight, successfully delivering Photon and CAPSTONE to low Earth orbit. CAPSTONE's lunar journey has begun! Thank you to our mission partners @NASA, @AdvancedSpace and @TerranOrbital

SEE is working with the @RocketLab Operations team to support mission planning, trajectory analysis, and orbit determination of the Photon spacecraft as it delivers #CAPSTONE to its ballistic lunar transfer.

Today we signed a $143 million contract with @MDA_Space to lead the design and manufacture of 17 spacecraft buses for @Globalstar’s new Low Earth Orbit satellites. Read more: bit.ly/3se63W7 🛰️ #MoreThanJustRocketsInThisLab
