High cadence launch needs high cadence testing. With more than 100 launches in backlog (and counting), we're building a new state-of-the-art test facility to accelerate static fire stack testing for Electron and HASTE rockets.

Check out the new test pad underway within our Propulsion Test Complex 🧵👇

28.1 miles on Mars, powered by Rocket Lab hardware.

NASA's Perseverance rover has now driven 28.1 miles (45.2 km) across the Red Planet in just five and a half years, breaking an off-world driving record that took Opportunity nearly 15 years to set.

Rocket Lab solar panels powered Perseverance's cruise to Mars, then on the surface, Rocket Lab Robotics (formerly Motiv Space Systems) hardware helps turn those miles into science — from the Mastcam-Z camera mechanisms that zoom in on targets, to the 7-foot robotic arm placing instruments against Martian rock with sub-millimeter precision.

Every mile is another step in the search for signs of ancient life.

Just finished the interview and the tour of Mynaric!

Thank you @RocketLab for hosting me! Mynaric has mind blowing technology and amazing people and they are scaling very well 🔥🔥🔥

The interview with Frank Klein and Dr Brad Clevenger was full of key data. I think you guys are not going to want to miss it.

Here is a picture of me in the Mynaric factory!

Thank you Matt and Paul and all the awesome people I have met today.

It’s official: @IridiumComm shareholders have voted and approved the acquisition by Rocket Lab ✅

By joining forces, we’ll be creating a vertically-integrated space powerhouse that designs, builds, launches, and operates its own constellations to bring critical communications capability to millions of users worldwide.

Think Rocket Lab only operates in low Earth orbit? Think again.

When a spacecraft orbits the Moon, touches down on the lunar surface, or charts a course across deep space to Mars, there's a strong chance Rocket Lab technology helped it get there and deliver mission success.

Through our launch, spacecraft, solar power, separation systems, software, operations, and robotics solutions, we’re proud to support historic planetary exploration missions across the solar system. 🧵👇

Kickoff complete! Our team recently wrapped up a successful program kickoff for the Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator (SB-AMTI) demonstrations in support of @USSpaceForce.

We’re delivering Flatellites with innovative space-based sensing technologies to help mature resilient capabilities for the Joint Force.

Neutron operations are busy on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Our Hungry Hippo fairing has wrapped up pre-flight testing at our Assembly and Integration Complex while down the road at Launch Complex 3, we've completed installation of the ~10m test stand for Neutron's second stage. Neutron's thrust module will be directly tested on the launch mount itself, to verify rocket-to-launch mount interfaces ahead of full vehicle tests on the pad.

On April 24, 2026, the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition (Auto China 2026) officially opened. Under the theme “A Vast New Realm,” NIO Inc. presented its three brands—NIO, ONVO, and firefly, showcasing a total of 11 models and 12 full-stack technologies. Nearly 500 journalists from China and abroad attended the NIO press conference at the Company’s booth. https://t.co/Z3dHsAS5gd

@Klp168 Looks like they also went with reversing into the station, and not drive-through?

@Klp168 Do you have a link? When was this

[Martian Surface @MartianSurf]

@KryptoEken @JLWEE_ It was confirmed by NIO in the press conference.

[Martian Surface @MartianSurf]

@Klp168 And you don't have to exit the car in pouring rain to battery swap!

[Martian Surface @MartianSurf]

@Starlink Russia/China hack obviously. They've been trying to crack Starlink since the first satellites went into orbit.

@JDVance Death is exciting to you? Sicko

@Klp168 LastPost article provided no proof. This is fake news @Klp168

@BRICSinfo You are about 12 hours late to reporting. Attack over a long time ago and all Pak missiles and drones were neutralised.

[Martian Surface @MartianSurf]

@Jas0nYu Did you post it? What's Crypto got to do with NIO

[Martian Surface @MartianSurf]

@MattFarrar12 @elonmusk @Tesla You clearly haven't seen how bad Tesla's are compared to their Chinese competition. @Elon this is not going to raise your SP. You've killed your trust and goodwill in just 4 months!

@MedvedevRussiaE Doesn't HIMARS require US intel input?

If so, US full well know and allowed Ukraine to target energy (Sudzha today) and USA technically assisted and allowed Ukraine to break energy ceasefire...
