Rocket Lab (RKLB) lands $397M vertically integrated Space Force contract

Rocket Lab (RKLB) lands $397M vertically integrated Space Force contract

Rocket Lab just got a $397 million contract from the U.S. Space Force to build, launch, and operate new missile-tracking satellites. They are using a new stackable "Flatellite" design that fits about 16 satellites onto their new Neutron rockets. The main takeaway for the business is that Rocket Lab is keeping the entire $397 million. Because of their recent acquisitions to become vertically integrated, they are handling the development, launch, and orbit operations entirely in-house without paying subcontractors. For context on the size of the deal, this single contract is worth more than half of their current $769 million annual revenue.
