We have officially acquired Motiv Space Systems, Inc. Motiv – now Rocket Lab Robotics – brings mission-tested Mars heritage with advanced multi-degree of freedom robotic arms, actuators, and drive electronics that have enabled some of the most ambitious planetary exploration missions in history, including NASA's Mars Perseverance rover. We're now one of few companies in the world capable of delivering end-to-end Mars mission solutions including launch, spacecraft, software, and proven robotics for surface and on-orbit operations. This unique capability positions us to lead programs like Mars Sample Return mission and the Mars Telecommunications Network. Read the full details: https://lnkd.in/eQJc2RV2

Nine years ago today, we launched Electron for the first time. Later this year, Electron is expected to reach 100 launches, likely making it the fastest privately developed orbital rocket to hit that milestone. From “It’s a test” to one of the world’s highest cadence launch vehicles in under a decade. Here's a little walk down memory lane from that first historic launch.

Constellation deployment made simple with Electron: frequent launches, proven reliability, and precision on orbit 🛰️✨ Mission success once again for Synspective Inc. on Electron's 88th launch. Nine missions complete and 18 more to go to finish Synspective's SAR constellation by 2030.

Rocket Lab has been awarded a $90 million contract by the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command to design, manufacture, integrate, and operate two geostationary satellites hosting the Heimdall space domain awareness payload produced by Rocket Lab Optical Systems. Rocket Lab components have long played an essential role in many GEO programs, but this is our first satellite production program for geostationary orbit. The two satellites will be built on our Lightning bus, adapted for the thermal, radiation, propulsion, and station-keeping demands of GEO. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dkK_7akS
