Sir Peter Beck quotes 20 of ♾️
"Neutron is a new breed of rocket, with Reliability, Reusbality and Cost hard baked into the design from Day 1.
It's what a rocket should look like in 2050.
We are building it today."

@itschrisray The $irdium network was the only network working to the first responders after the 9/11 attack, Hurricane Katrina and during the boots on ground mission in Afghanistan. These events embedded $irdium constellation as the last resort and hope when the times were toughest.

New interview with Sir Peter Beck on Fox Business:
"The applications you do in space are about $320 billion today. And this is what the acquisition of Iridium exposes itself to, it's that $320 billion TAM."
"The space industry is undergoing a huge amount of growth. Rocket Lab is extremely well positioned to capitalize on those new TAMs and expanding TAMs."

This is the kind of CEO you want running one of the most exciting companies in the world! 🚀

Space is a congested and contested operational environment, and the @DeptofWar is preparing to respond swiftly and dynamically to threats and other force protection needs on orbit.
Last week, @RocketLab, DIU, and our partners at USSF Space Systems Command's (@USSF_SSC) Space Safari Program Office successfully launched the VICTUS HAZE mission. A specially modified Rocket Lab spacecraft launched on their own Electron rocket into previously unknown orbit only 16 hours and 42 minutes after receiving the launch order.
This timeline smashed our 24-hour target by 30% and set a new record in Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) launch by 10 hours.

Iridium CEO -
Starlink is complimentary to Iridium constellation, what we do is a different spectrum and service. Its doing hard things Starlink can't do, high mobility small devices, protecting GPS and tracking aeroplanes. $rklb $spcx $asts

.@RocketLab agreed to buy Iridium Communications, a pioneer in satellite telephones, in a cash-and-stock transaction as smaller players in the orbital economy try to catch up with market leader SpaceX. CEO Peter Beck joins @EdLudlow to discuss the move https://t.co/edMr1E0Vv9
Space-based communications is becoming an even bigger story- poised to disrupt telecom even more:
@RocketLab acquiring @IridiumComm for $54/ share in a deal valued at $8 Billion.
$RKLB has been acquisitive for years but adding $IRDM means @Peter_J_Beck is building a vertically integrated company spanning satellite manufacturing, launch and now communications and other space-based applications- while also absorbing more necessary spectrum to do it.
This will create a more formidable competitor to $SPCX, and Blue Origin too
“Rather than simply continuing the Iridium network, Rocket Lab will build upon it to scale into untapped markets and pioneer new space-based services to the benefit of global customers.”

Four years ago today, CAPSTONE left the pad. 🚀 Happy launch anniversary, CAPSTONE!
Launched aboard a @RocketLab Electron from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, CAPSTONE is the first commercial and privately owned satellite to operate at the Moon. Four years later, it is still flying. Still returning data.
Hear from Dr. Jeffrey Parker, Advanced Space Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, who designed the trajectory that carried CAPSTONE to the Moon. 👉 https://t.co/V6dbg8SNVv
Thank you to all of our partners!

#HUGENEWS Iridium has entered into an agreement to be acquired by @RocketLab. This transaction is a defining moment for the industry, creating a vertically integrated space powerhouse positioned to unlock critical space applications. → https://t.co/6Rv63A1uDS 🛰️ 🌎 🚀
Rocket Lab is acquiring Iridium Communications Inc – one of the most transformative deals in the space industry.
By combining our launch capability and satellite manufacturing with @IridiumComm’s global satellite communications network and rare spectrum, Rocket Lab becomes a fully integrated, self-launching, tier-1 space power, delivering critical communications capability to millions of users worldwide.

Congrats to Rocket Lab who just completed a satellite deployment in 16 hours and 42 minutes from the moment the Space Force picked up the phone. For context: it takes 14 hours to fly nonstop from New York to Singapore. Rocket Lab put a satellite in orbit faster than a commercial flight crosses the Pacific. On-demand space access is no longer a concept. It's a product.
The VICTUS HAZE exercise appears to be proceeding as planned. Based on the TLEs, Puma synchronized orbit about 100 km from Jackal on Jun 23. On Jun 25 Jackal made an evasion manuver. In the most recent TLEs Puma had not yet responded.
