(Nasdaq: RKLB) (\u201cRocket Lab\u201d or \u201cthe Company\u201d), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced it has been selected to provide hypersonic test launch capability with its HASTE launch vehicle, engineering expertise, and other services through its participation in two multi-billion dollar government development programs for the United States and the United Kingdom.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRocket Lab has been selected by the U.S. Air Force to participate within its Enterprise-Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC), a $46 billion indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract designed for the rapid acquisition of innovative technologies, engineering services, and technical solutions that develop the Air Force\u2019s new capabilities. The program has a contracting period through to 2031 and is designed to be broad in scope, flexible in funding, and agile for maximum use to enable the Air Force to quickly procure services and technologies across various domains.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFurther, Rocket Lab has also been selected by the United Kingdom\u2019s Ministry of Defence (UK MOD) for its Hypersonic Technologies &amp; Capability Development Framework (HTCDF), a ~$1.3 billion (\u00a31 billion) framework to rapidly develop advanced hypersonic capabilities for the United Kingdom. As a newly-selected supplier to the HTCDF, Rocket Lab is now eligible to bid to provide services, technologies, and testing capabilities that support the UK\u2019s development of sovereign hypersonic technology.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAcross both programs, Rocket Lab intends to bid for contracts and task orders served by its Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron (HASTE) launch vehicle, as well as other engineering, design, and launch services. A suborbital variant of Electron &#8211; the world\u2019s most frequently launched small orbital rocket &#8211; HASTE includes much of the same innovative technology as Electron, including carbon fiber composite structures and 3D printed rocket engines, but has a modified upper Kick Stage tailored for hypersonic technology tests and a larger payload capacity of up to 700 kg \/ 1,540 lbs. HASTE can deploy technologies at speeds of more than 7.5km per second to test air-breathing, glide, and ballistic payloads, as well as technologies to re-enter Earth\u2019s atmosphere from space. Successful missions to date include three launches for the U.S. Department of Defense \u2013 including twice within just 21 days \u2013 from Rocket Lab\u2019s Launch Complex 2 launch site located on Wallops Island, Virginia. Combined, Rocket Lab\u2019s HASTE and Electron launch vehicles have deployed 200+ payloads from its United States and New Zealand launch sites to date.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, says: \u201cThe ability to contribute toward the collective security of the United States and the United Kingdom across both of these important programs is a proud moment for the HASTE team, and a demonstration of Rocket Lab\u2019s commitment to lead from the front when it comes to innovative and unique solutions for hypersonic technology development. Keeping pace with global developments means more affordable tests at a higher rate that expands the boundaries of hypersonic technology &#8211; and that\u2019s a capability we\u2019re already providing all in one platform with HASTE, at a commercial price and cadence that serves the mission of both nations.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Rocket Lab<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nFounded in 2006, Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company with an established track record of mission success. We deliver reliable launch services, satellite manufacture, spacecraft components, and on-orbit management solutions that make it faster, easier, and more affordable to access space. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, Rocket Lab designs and manufactures the Electron small orbital launch vehicle, a family of flight-proven spacecraft, and the Company is developing the large Neutron launch vehicle for constellation deployment. Since its first orbital launch in January 2018, Rocket Lab\u2019s Electron launch vehicle has become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered more than 200 satellites to orbit for private and public sector organizations, enabling operations in national security, scientific research, space debris mitigation, Earth observation, climate monitoring, and communications. Rocket Lab\u2019s spacecraft have been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars, as well as the first private commercial mission to Venus. Rocket Lab has three launch pads at two launch sites, including two launch pads at a private orbital launch site located in New Zealand and a third launch pad in Virginia.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Forward Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
