Rocket Lab is a private aerospace company headquartered in Long Beach, California, with a significant presence in New Zealand. Founded in 2006 by Peter Beck, Rocket Lab specializes in providing cost-effective and reliable launch services for small and medium-sized satellites. They are known for their Electron rocket, a lightweight, expendable launch vehicle designed to deploy payloads into orbit.
The Electron rocket is known for its frequent launch schedule and flexibility, catering to a wide range of customers, including commercial satellite operators, government agencies, and research institutions. Rocket Lab's launch site, located on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula, is the world's first private orbital launch complex.
In addition to their launch services, Rocket Lab has also been involved in developing advanced technology for the space industry, such as the Photon satellite platform, which simplifies satellite development and deployment. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Rocket Lab was actively expanding its capabilities and working on various space-related projects. Please note that developments and changes may have occurred since then.
