The missions will lift-off from both Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand and Rocket Lab Launch Complex 3 in Virginia. Pricing for these launches aligns with Rocket Lab\u2019s average selling price for Neutron and Electron. The remaining terms of the deal are undisclosed.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">With this award, Neutron\u2019s commercial launch manifest is rapidly filling up through to the end of the decade: a remarkable milestone achieved before the reusable medium-lift rocket\u2019s inaugural launch, and one which highlights the continuous demand for medium-lift launch alternatives. Demand for Neutron\u2019s early commercial launch slots speaks to the industry\u2019s appetite for a dependable launch service to deliver next-generation constellations to space, and strong customer confidence in Rocket Lab\u2019s ability to deliver a reliable medium-lift reusable rocket that will do just that.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, says: \u201cThis record launch contract sends a clear signal: the space industry needs more launch capacity and it needs it from launch providers who know how to deliver. Operators are moving fast to establish infrastructure on orbit, government customers are modernizing their space capabilities, and new technology is being developed to test in space &#8211; and all of it needs the type of reliable, frequent access to orbit that Electron provides and Neutron will soon deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Market Leading Backlog Positions Rocket Lab for Sustained Growth<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>With 87 completed Electron launches and more than 70 missions for Neutron and Electron in backlog, the growth in Rocket Lab\u2019s cadence and backlog highlights the Company&#8217;s role as the world&#8217;s second most active launch provider. Alongside other launch contracts secured in Q1 2026, Rocket Lab has now sold more launches in the first three months of the year than the Company sold in the full year 2025. This new award also surpasses Rocket Lab\u2019s previous launch contract record set in Q1 2026 with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=tEJBiNTqww1mInuPcZduw5we-iQOE21zIbYkKkMceCSWzNjWe79shK5ZsDvDuOBCrTPh_us9Mp9OuWjuZl4sJTiOK2qaKsEudB-qrhZdNmoJWaPtXeEwlutoviXoYoXyBB3R0ySlzp4W4ll2RvG88XqfynPBy2Idx6zGkMH28vYwzfAkp-XKnMr06BNskzlmY8TwNaYA3ABAUMdo9WI_7V7tooQo0pPyFCR5TmpjBFyS4sQThvZqHJJIvWrUk5z9hzT36nsZBkeayLm2tBou0-CcDLGCmPa2P8_osntkMG2x09c4GjZoWKGDnCMyIPhfeSw1IPgVwf4AY1EJ_CqwQfjTFYcduvShJx9k3aK-Vmf1Kzumv-C-CYL9UtWVo1BM\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">a $190 million contract for a block buy of 20 hypersonic test flights with its HASTE launch vehicle<\/a> for the Department of War.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This booking momentum showcases the scalability of Rocket Lab\u2019s tri-vehicle approach to serving every launch need for the space industry: Electron continues to lead the small satellite launch market with unmatched flight rates and reliability; HASTE is at the forefront of hypersonic flight tests for national security and defense; and Neutron addresses assured access to space for commercial constellations, national security, interplanetary missions, and eventually human spaceflight.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Rocket Lab Media Contact<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Murielle Baker<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=sSHflWofF3nM-QJaj5WTUYMJ2XYbVBqNrRhPpa315Enl6h29ER16KUejTCyzMS4NbDG4OZDdyI80y37o3Q0jKqkNbnOCxfA-_o233LHj0zE=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">media@rocketlabusa.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Rocket Lab<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Rocket Lab is a leading space company that provides launch services, spacecraft, payloads, and satellite components serving commercial, government, and national security markets.
