Rocket Lab Wins $397 Million U.S. Space Force Contract for Target-Tracking Satellites
Rocket Lab won a $397 million U.S. Space Force contract to develop and operate satellites for a next-generation airborne target-tracking system. It will build the satellites, run operations from secure facilities, and deliver tracking data to the Space Force. Launch will rely on its Neutron rocket, whose first flight has been delayed until late 2026.
