Rocket Lab (Nasdaq: RKLB), a leading provider of launch services and space systems, has scheduled its Q2 2025 financial results announcement for August 7, 2025, after U.S. markets close. The company will hold a conference call at 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET the same day, with a live webcast available on their investor relations website.

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) has awarded a contract to Bollinger Shipyards to support the modification of its ocean landing platform for the Neutron reusable rocket. The 400-ft-long platform, named 'Return On Investment', will be modified at Bollinger's shipyard in Amelia, Louisiana, with delivery expected in early 2026.

The platform will feature autonomous ground support equipment, blast shielding, and station-keeping thrusters for Neutron rocket landings at sea. Operating from the U.S. East Coast, it will support operations at Rocket Lab's launch site on Wallops Island, Virginia. The company aims to double Neutron's launch capacity annually once the service begins.

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) has successfully completed the Critical Design Review (CDR) for the Space Development Agency's Tranche 2 Transport Layer-Beta (T2TL-Beta) program. As the prime contractor, Rocket Lab will deliver 18 spacecraft for the constellation, which will serve as a crucial component of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture.

The CDR milestone, following the successful Preliminary Design Review in late 2024, confirms that the spacecraft design, manufacturing approach, and systems architecture meet all mission requirements. The program will now advance to full-scale production. The constellation will operate in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide resilient, low-latency communications network support for U.S. and allied forces worldwide.

Rocket Lab will utilize its high-performance Lightning platform for the spacecraft, specifically adapted for national security LEO constellation requirements. The company's vertical integration allows in-house production of key subsystems including solar panels, composite structures, star trackers, reaction wheels, radios, avionics, and software.

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) successfully completed its 68th Electron rocket mission, 'Symphony In The Stars,' launching from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. The mission achieved a significant milestone by executing two launches from the same site in less than 48 hours, setting a new company record for launch turnaround time.

The launch deployed a single satellite to a 650km circular Earth orbit for a confidential commercial customer. This marks Rocket Lab's tenth Electron mission of 2025 with a perfect 100% success rate. The company has demonstrated impressive efficiency by completing four launches in June 2025 alone, highlighting Electron's position as the leading small launcher.

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) successfully completed its 67th Electron rocket launch, deploying four satellites for HawkEye 360, including three Cluster 12 microsatellites and the experimental Kestrel-0A satellite, to a 520 km circular low Earth orbit.

The company is set to achieve a significant milestone with its next launch, "Symphony In The Stars," scheduled for June 28th NZT, marking Rocket Lab's fastest launch turnaround yet from Launch Complex 1 in less than 48 hours. This upcoming mission will be the company's 68th Electron launch and tenth mission this year, demonstrating high launch cadence with over 20 launches possible in 2025.

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) has secured a contract to launch a dedicated Electron mission for the European Space Agency (ESA). The mission will deploy two "Pathfinder A" spacecraft from Launch Complex 1 no earlier than December 2025.

The satellites, built by Thales Alenia Space and GMV, will be placed in a 510km low Earth orbit to test LEO-PNT (Low Earth Orbit Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) services. This demonstration mission will evaluate how a low Earth orbit satellite fleet can complement Europe's existing Galileo and EGNOS navigation systems.

The contract highlights Electron's growing presence in the European market, following successful missions for Kinéis, OroraTech, and other European operators since 2021.

Rocket Lab (RKLB) has secured two new dedicated Electron missions for 2025 from a confidential commercial customer. The first mission, 'Symphony In The Stars,' is scheduled to launch in just four days on June 20, 2025, from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. The mission will deploy a single spacecraft to a 650km circular Earth orbit, with a second similar mission planned before year-end. The rapid contract-to-launch timeline showcases Rocket Lab's responsive launch capabilities. The company has maintained 100% mission success for all Electron launches in 2025 and has demand for over 20 launches this year, operating from both Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand and Launch Complex 2 in Wallops Island, Virginia.

Rocket Lab (RKLB) successfully completed its 66th Electron mission, launching the QPS-SAR-11 satellite for Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space (iQPS) from New Zealand. This marks Rocket Lab's second launch for iQPS in just 25 days and fourth overall, maintaining a 100% success rate. The satellite, nicknamed YAMATSUMI-I, was deployed to a 575km circular Earth orbit and represents the halfway point in deploying iQPS's Earth-imaging constellation. The mission demonstrates Rocket Lab's rapid launch capabilities and reliability in dedicated small satellite launches. Four more dedicated missions for iQPS are scheduled through 2026. This launch marks Rocket Lab's eighth Electron mission of 2025, with another launch planned in the coming days.
