Our last double-digit launch incoming! Less than 24 hours to go until our 99th Electron is scheduled to launch from LC-1 in New Zealand. "The Sea God Surveys" launch window for @QPS_Inc opens: 🚀05:30am NZDT, Nov 3 🚀01.30am JST, Nov 3 🚀04:30pm UTC, Nov 2 🚀11:30am EDT, Nov 2 🚀08:30am PT, Nov 2

Giving future space missions a leg up. Or an arm, rather. Rocket Lab Robotics developed a robotic arm with @NASA that can walk across spacecraft, use tools, and perform repairs and upgrades in orbit. It launches on NASA's Fly Foundational Robots mission in late 2027.

Before we go to space, we set sail 🚢 This week Neutron’s stage 2 and thrust module travelled from Middle River to Launch Complex 3 within the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Wallops, Virginia. Here's a glimpse behind the scenes.

Triple digits unlocked. 💯🚀 The 100th Electron has left the factory, headed for launch. Thank you and congratulations to the many people behind this rocket, and the 99 before it.

Less than a week ago our 98th Electron delivered mission success for @hawkeye360 with another flawless launch. Up next: Our 99th launch is scheduled next week and our 100th rocket is close behind, scheduled for delivery to Launch Complex 1 soon.

Rocket Lab hardware featured in @NASA’s Image of the Day. Our Albuquerque team manufactured the PVA panels that were populated with our high-efficiency, quad-junction Z4J+ solar cells that were integrated onto NASA NEO Surveyor’s 20-ft long sunshade structure. The array delivers up to 2 kW and is the spacecraft's only power source as it hunts hazardous asteroids and comets.

Neutron’s Stage 2 and Thrust Module have arrived to Virginia. After a short barge ride from the Neutron Factory, these major assemblies have now been offloaded on Wallops Island and are going through arrival checkouts. Next up: integrated fluids testing and launch mount interface checkouts for the Thrust Module, with Stage 2 to follow on the test stand beside it soon after.

Members of @SemperCitiusSDA's Tranche 2 leadership team were recently at Rocket Lab's California headquarters to see T2TL-Beta in production. Eight of 18 spacecraft are on the floor right now, in build. Solar panels, structures, star trackers, reaction wheels, radios, flight software, avionics, launch dispenser — all built in-house. Proliferated architectures demand production at scale. Rocket Lab is all in on SDA's mission, and the action on our floor proves it. We're proud to be delivering this.

. @Peter_J_Beck is one of my favorite people I've ever met and we've ever had on the show His kindness and brilliance lights up this world and I'm so excited about the future he is building Very grateful PUMPED for you to see this episode

Every 8 days an Electron rocket rolls off the production line thanks to our mission-obsessed team and advanced factories. The Electron team is growing as we prepare to launch more rockets than ever before in 2027. Role open across vehicle assembly, composites, GNC, propulsion, manufacturing engineering, software, and more. Those with automotive, aerospace, marine, aviation, and manufacturing experience are a great fit. Come to New Zealand and Long Beach, CA to design, build, test, and launch rockets. Relocation support available. Adventure awaits:

It’s a beautiful day to set sail with the next pieces of Neutron flight hardware to Launch Complex 3. Earlier today we sent Neutron’s Stage 2 and Thrust Module out of the Neutron Factory and onto a barge for transport through Chesapeake Bay to Wallops Island in Virginia. Once it arrives, the Thrust Module will go straight onto the launch mount at LC-3 for check outs and the beginning of wider systems demonstrations including integrated fluids tests and module-to-launch-mount interface checkouts. With no strongback on the launch mount by design, Neutron’s Thrust Module is the rocket’s only physical interface to the launch pad, which this upcoming test campaign enables us to test early before the entire vehicle comes together.

The Neutron team hit some big milestones this week, working around the clock to bring the world's largest carbon composite reusable rocket to life. Take a look inside our Neutron Factory in Maryland 👇

Less than 90 minutes to lift-off for Electron's 98th mission. ❄️LOx fueling underway 🌤️ Weather: 90% GO ⏱️ Lift-off: Scheduled for 8:11pm NZDT Webcast live from T-20 minutes:

This launch will be our third dedicated mission with @hawkeye360 satellites to expand their RF-sensing constellation. 🚀 "Virginia Is For Launch Lovers", 2023, LC-2 🚀 "Get The Hawk Outta Here", 2025, LC-1 🚀 Up next: "We're Not Hawking Around", 2026, LC-1
