While he may dream about exploring Venus, he knows the money needs to come from somewhere. Pragmatic yet inspiring, Beck’s approach is a reminder that finding a clear business case doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on bigger dreams. “It’s about right-sizing the vehicle for the majority of the market,” Beck tells Inverse. Together, Beck claims the two can lift 90 percent of spacecraft planned for the next decade or so. The reusable rocket has completed 22 launches and successfully deployed 107 satellites. The Neutron rocket pairs with the Electron, the existing small rocket capable of sending 300 kg (661 pounds) to low-Earth orbit. Want to know more about Rocket Labs’ big plans, how it could aid deep space missions, and how a unique design choice offers key improvements to rockets?

A “ hungry hippo” fairing that stays fixed to the first stage.

A unique Rocket Lab carbon composite material that makes the rocket lighter than ever - the first of its kind.

A wide, static base instead of deployable landing legs.

The “ lightest upper stage ever, in history”.

A unique, curved shape that enables rapid reusability.

The latest update video showed a series of fascinating features for Neutron: Venus, of course, is a pet favorite of Beck’s - see Musk Reads+ #9 for more on that. Rocket Lab lost the batch of satellites about 121 miles, or 195 kilometers, above Earth, according to a live broadcast on YouTube - well before the spacecraft reached its target altitude of 310 miles and the requisite speed to slip into orbit.Rocket Lab’s updates the world. On board were seven satellites for three customers.Ī few minutes after a successful liftoff from one of the company's launch pads in New Zealand, however, the Electron's second- or upper-stage rocket failed. Rocket Lab's failed mission, called Pics Or It Didn't Happen - in line with the company's other cheekily named flights - was its 13th attempt to reach orbit with Electron, a six-story launch vehicle. But instead of staying silent about the failure or gloating, leaders of space companies competing for business with the roughly $1.4 billion startup stepped up to offer their public support. Over the weekend, the small-launch firm Rocket Lab experienced a ruinous setback: the total loss of an operational space mission worth months of time and millions of dollars. In an interview with Ars, Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck said that these missions, and the higher cadence, were possible because of 'mature' processes now in place at Rocket Lab and the experience. When it comes to the orbital rocket industry, though, the atmosphere is far more collegial. If Apple or Google ever launched a gadget product that failed, the last thing you might expect to see is either tech company publicly consoling the other.
