Description: RKLB Rocket Lab USA October 14, 2025
Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB) is a U.S.-based aerospace firm that offers end-to-end launch and space-systems services, ranging from the design and manufacture of small- and medium-class rockets to on-orbit constellation management for commercial, prime-contractor, and government customers.
Its flagship vehicle, the Electron rocket, has logged over 30 successful missions as of Q3 2024, supporting a growing small-sat market; the company is also progressing with the larger, reusable Neutron launch vehicle, which is slated for its first flight in 2025 and targets mega-constellation and potential crewed missions.
Key performance indicators show a revenue run-rate of roughly $210 million in FY 2024, driven by a 45 % year-over-year increase in launch contracts and a backlog exceeding $1 billion-metrics that reflect the broader industry trend of rising demand for low-cost, high-frequency access to low-Earth orbit, especially from satellite-constellation operators and defense agencies.
