100% mission success

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

"The Grain Goddess Provides", and so do the launch gods. We've got a new date for our next Electron mission with @QPS_Inc.

Launch window opens tonight:
🚀 9:00 pm/09:00 NZST/UTC
🚀 6:00 pm JST
🚀 5:00 am EDT
🚀 2:00 am PDT

On August 6 RL will report Q2.

Analysts' expectations:

• Q2 Revenue: ~$232M
• EPS: ~$-0.03
• Gross margin: ~37–38%
• Backlog: >$2.2B
• Q3 revenue guidance: $245M

Focus will be on Neutron, Electron cadence, defense wins (Golden Dome/SBI), Iridium acquisition.

Archimedes second stage engine full duration burn - complete ✅ (and what a thing of beauty).

The AVac (Archimedes Vacuum) engine produces 1.2x lbf of its Stage 1 variant and stands ~2.5m taller thanks to its extended nozzle optimized for the vacuum conditions of space.

Recent AVac testing included a stub skirt for the nozzle. Since full length vacuum nozzles at ground level risk flow separation and instability, stub skirts are used to anchor our engineers' analysis for how the engine will perform with the full nozzle in vacuum conditions - all critical preparation for Neutron's first flight.

Rocket Lab is being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index.

This is a landmark moment for the team. We're incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved, and even more excited about what is still to come.

Gas stations in space? We’re working on it! ⛽

NASA is teaming up with Rocket Lab and Eta Space for LOXSAT, a low Earth orbit technology demo to address the challenges of using super-cold fuel in space. Launching aboard an Electron rocket, this demonstration could help shape the future of in-space propellant depots to refuel missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond: https://t.co/cXd5YkIaiV

The next chapter of space computing is here 🛰️

NVIDIA and its ecosystem are advancing AI from Earth-to-space across:

✔️ Earth Orbit and Infrared Imagery
✔️ Radio Frequency and Synthetic Aperture Radar
✔️ Autonomous Space Operations

Leading commercial space companies and mission-grade, radiation-hardened partners are scheduling deployments of NVIDIA Jetson Orin, IGX Thor, and the Vera Rubin Space-1 module for on-orbit AI inference and ground data processing.
