$RKLB 🌏🇳🇿🇺🇲🇦🇺🇨🇦🇩🇪🇬🇧🇰🇷🇯🇵🇪🇺... From guiding suborbital spaceplanes to steering the second most frequently launched rocket in the U.S.! 🚀 Thrilled to see Thomas Galbraith (Dawn Aerospace )join the team @RocketLab as Lead for Electron Avionics Development. 🔥

Exciting updates coming soon from NordSpace’s Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) in Newfoundland and Labrador, SLC-01 and SLC-02. Pretty wild that both Rocket Lab and SpaceX built orbital rockets and their own spaceports for much less than CAD $200 million combined. Capital efficiency is so conveniently ignored by people in this industry. At NordSpace, we track every penny and every second, and do the hard parts first. Codspeed!

$RKLB 💰📈👂 Rocket Lab CFO Adam Spice: No Additional Capital Needed for Neutron/Space Systems (so why $3B ATM?): "We want to have plenty of dry powder to go acquire strategic assets (...) - we're continuing to look for more needle-moving kind of things." ➢ Past deals have focused on strategic vertical integration plays and bringing unique capabilities into the portfolio (not purely financial/revenue-driven). ➢ Future focus: shifting towards inorganic opportunities which bring true scale (cash flow revenue). Some vertical integration/capabilities acquisitions should likely still be expected (e.g. RF signal chain) - however, needle-moving mergers/acquisitions that enable true scale along with meaningful cash flow/revenue are now on the horizon.

$RKLB 🏭🌎🧠 Beyond optical terminals, Rocket Lab’s acquisition of Mynaric enables production of other Rocket Lab products in Europe - with European branding. This is strategically significant. Adam Spice @ Wells Fargo Industrials Conf 6/10/26👇 "Europe is a very protected market - they will only buy American when they have to buy American (...) - we now have a very modern capable factory with several hundred people over there pumping out optical terminals and there's an opportunity for us to produce other existing Rocket Lab products in that factory and be branded Europe (...) - we just look at any ways possible to grow the business as fast as possible" [h/t @JacobKeeton20 for highlighting the significance of this comment]

$RKLB 🚀🇺🇸🚀🇺🇸🚀🇺🇸🚀🇺🇸 Powerful words from U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (@SecWar) back in January of this year: "It's no wonder why your Electron rocket has been such a success (...) - you've chosen this mission precisely because it's hard. But through your toil comes genuine meaning. Look around. I spend a lot of time in offices with desks and paper and computers. Look around. The work you're doing here is real. It's tangible. You can feel the power and the energy radiate throughout this facility."

More rockets in the hangar at LC-1 than we’ve ever had before. We’re lining up a busy few weeks of back-to-back-to-back-to-back launches from the world’s first private orbital launch site 🚀🚀🚀🚀

NASA Wallops Island update - launch alert, a Rocket Lab AIC mystery, and dredging progress. New LNM (45816) out for a rocket launch from Wallops Flight Facility, VA. The hazard corridor stretches well into the Atlantic past Bermuda toward 61-62°W, with hazard areas up to 182 nautical miles. Primary: June 26, 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM EDT Backups: June 27 - July 2, same daily window No confirmed mission ID yet. Only a single hazard zone is listed, which makes us think this may not be Rocket Lab - possibly an unannounced sounding rocket. There is already a separate LNM for the RockSat launch (June 24-25), so this looks like a different mission. Separately: all four large tower structures staged outside the Rocket Lab AIC, between Building 0 and the Neutron 01 building, are now gone. They were arranged in two rows of two, each with a big electric motor and gearbox assembly. Still on site June 9, last photographed June 2. Checked our usual vantage point toward the pads and did not see them there either. No idea if they went inside, down to the island, or off-site. On the Sloop Gut dredging front, good progress continues. Today we watched trucks running in and out of Wallops Island, hauling dredge material to the VSA upland farmland for dewatering. The piles out there are adding up nicely. Busy month at Wallops. Will update as we learn more. @NASASpaceflight

Update from @RocketLab's middle river facility. The 3 section of the interstage test article are still outside and a few lights (i think) have been set up around the test stand area. 📸me for @LabPadre

K2 Space has been confirmed as a satellite bus provider for the @USSpaceForce Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global (PTS-G) initiative, which will launch to GEO in 2028. This announcement is a milestone for K2 as our first participation in a Pentagon program of record. Under the award announced by @USSF_SSC earlier this week, K2 will supply a satellite to our partners at @SESSpaceDefense, one of two primes on the contract. K2’s large, resilient satellites are built with the power and mass to deploy the anti-jam capabilities and consistent communications that the PTS-G constellation requires.
