Private investors in the #US , #EU
, and #Oceania
have pumped tens of billions
into launch vehicle companies—as examples, more than $10B for #BlueOrigin, $1.2B into #RocketLab, $2.4B for #RelativitySpace, $700 million into #Firefly, $500M into #StokeSpace, and $483M into #IsarAerospace. (As an aside, the cost of developing the expendable #Falcon9 was $400M
) https://payloadspace.com/why-is-spacex-the-master-of-launch
So cool watching E-66. Another successful launch of Electron in New Zealand.

Under the #COTS model, #NASA provides funding and guidance to private companies to develop their own #spacecraft, #rockets, and #services, and then buys those at a "market" rate. #SpaceX, #BlueOrigin, #RocketLab and #ImpulseSpace could ferry cargo to #Mars and land there https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/05/if-congress-actually-cancels-the-sls-rocket-what-happens-next

If the stock market doesn’t crash by the end of the month, Rocketlab is a good opportunity to invest in a very competent space company. They launch about a mission a week it seems, and they’ve been on a tear this fiscal year.
Their stock price is currently sitting at about $26, and it’s going to jump probably 20-25% at least by end of day Feb 27th, when their earnings report drops. This is a financial tip on the internet, and for posterity I’ll boost it on the 28th.

October 8, 2024 #RocketLab will challenge the program to hit a
2028 launch window https://spacenews.com/nasa-awards-rocket-lab-study-contract-for-mars-sample-return
December 2, 2024 #SpaceX would rely on #Starship. Canceling #MSR would open the door for #China
to become the first nation to return samples from #Mars https://spacenews.com/foust-forward-who-gets-the-final-word-on-mars-sample-return
#Orbex : “The first orbital #spaceflight from the #UK has come a step closer following the Highland Council’s decision for the #Sutherland #spaceport”.
Other private aerospace companies have also developed #3Dprinted rocket engines :
• #RocketCrafters has successfully completed a series of tests ahead of a planned test flight later this year.
• #RocketLab's #Electron
• #RelativitySpace will develop “the world’s first fully 3D printed rocket.”
The cost of a #NewGlenn (45 tons) launch will be about $67 million . Elon Musk says that a #Starship (150 tons) launch would cost only $10 million
. #RocketLab is targeting the price of a #Neutron (13 tons) launch to be $50 million. #GwynneShotwell noted that 400 Starships will launch
in the next four years https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/5004815-blue-origin-new-glenn-launch

* I'm an investor in rocket lab but I try not to simp.
#BlueOrigin and Cerberus Capital Management had placed bids in early 2023 for #ULA. #RocketLab had also expressed interest. None of those discussions led to a deal. #Boeing and #LockheedMartin are in talks to sell their rocket-launching joint venture ULA to #SierraSpace https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-lockheed-martin-talks-sell-ula-sierra-space-2024-08-16/

#RocketLab has $1.07B in revenue backlog, 44% of which it expects to realize in the next 12 months.“Of all the things I worry about at night, demand is just not one of them,” said CEO @peter_j_beck https://payloadspace.com/rocket-lab-smashes-revenue-record-paving-the-path-to-break-even/
@jfoust #ESA’s director of #space transportation : “Honestly, I don’t think #Starship will be a game-changer or a real competitor. Starship will not eradicate #Ariane6 at all” . The response on social media to those comments was one of #ridicule
