Rocket Lab Corporation is a publicly traded aerospace company that offers a comprehensive suite of space services. Their business can be broadly categorized into two main segments:


Launch Services:

Electron Rocket: This is their flagship small-lift orbital launch vehicle. It's designed for rapid and frequent launches of small satellites into various Earth orbits. The Electron is known for its Rutherford engines (3D-printed and electrically pumped) and Rocket Lab is actively pursuing reusability for its first stage.


HASTE (Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron): A suborbital variant of the Electron, used for testing hypersonic and other suborbital systems.

Neutron Rocket: Currently under development, the Neutron is a larger, medium-lift reusable rocket that aims to compete for a wider range of payloads and missions, including satellite constellations and potentially interplanetary missions. They are investing heavily in its development, including the acquisition of Virgin Orbit's facility and tooling.


Launch Operations: They operate private orbital launch sites in New Zealand (Launch Complex 1) and the United States (Launch Complex 2 in Virginia), providing flexibility and responsiveness for their customers.

Space Systems: Rocket Lab has a significant focus on providing end-to-end solutions beyond just launching rockets. This segment includes:

Spacecraft Design and Manufacturing: They design and build entire spacecraft platforms, such as their Photon spacecraft, which can be customized for a variety of missions (e.g., Earth observation, communications, deep space exploration).

Spacecraft Components: They manufacture and supply a range of critical satellite components to other satellite builders and operators. This includes:

Star trackers for navigation

Reaction wheels for attitude control

Solar cells and arrays (through their acquisition of SolAero Technologies, making them a key US producer of high-efficiency space-grade solar cells)

Satellite radios

Separation systems

Flight and ground software

On-Orbit Mission Operations: They provide services for managing and operating satellites once they are in space, including telemetry, tracking, and data management.

In essence, Rocket Lab's core business is to provide reliable and cost-effective access to space for a diverse range of customers, from commercial entities to government agencies and defense organizations. They aim to be a vertically integrated company, controlling many aspects of the space value chain from hardware manufacturing to launch and on-orbit operations.
