About Rocket Lab For most people the idea of a rocket launch brings up images from the Apollo era monstrous booster engines, groundshaking noise, and a behemoth of a machine slowly climbing against the grasp of Earths gravity. This iconic image, the one that transformed us into a spacegoing species, captures the power and strength of rockets. But it is not the image that will make space a commercial reality. Replace this image with the bustle of a high speed assembly line, where rocket boosters feed off a conveyor belt connecting to preencapsulated payload stages, rolling out on to the launch pad one after the other. This image, by contrast, is about speed and efficiency and what the Rocket Lab Electron orbital project is all about. Rocket Lab has created a legacy of excellence by developing innovative solutions to ambitious aerospace problems for the likes of DARPA and other technically demanding customers. Now fully funded by major Silicon Valley venture capital funds, Rocket Lab is focused on redefining how the world accesses space by building Electron a revolutionary launch system designed to meet the launch requirements of the rapidly expanding small satellite market. Known in the industry for rapidly developing cost effective solutions from the ground up, Rocket Lab believes in giving highly skilled engineers ownership of complex aerospace systems from start to finish. This ethos offers engineers the satisfaction of moving from the conceptualization and design phase through to hands on work building, testing and ultimately flying their creations.
