Well silver, then who is keeping this under $5.00 threshhold you may want to ask???

[SilverKnightLV]

It won't matter until share price is above $5 and more institutional investors (prohibited from buying anything under that price) come in.

Nice! I wonder how many launches they will need for this constellation? I guess I’ll read around and try to find out.

Man that spigot of good news isn’t going to stop flowing anytime IMO. Hopefully this recent huge Russian defeat in Kherson is a turn around for our markets and not another fake out.

Rocket Lab Awarded $14m in Contracts to Supply Satellite Separation Systems for Companies Supporting Space Development Agency's Tranche 1 Transport Layer
5:32 pm ET November 9, 2022 (BusinessWire)

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a leading launch and space systems company, has been awarded two contracts worth a total of $14 million to provide satellite separation systems for companies building Space Development Agency's (SDA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer (T1TL) satellites. Rocket Lab will supply more than 80 total Lightband Separation Systems (Lightbands) to prime contractor Lockheed Martin and another undisclosed customer, both of whom are manufacturing satellites for the SDA's Tranche 1 Transport Layer.

Lightbands are separation systems that are used to attach satellites to rockets and release them in space once the rocket reaches its intended orbit. Rocket Lab's separation systems were designed by Planetary Systems Corp, which was acquired by the Company in 2021, and have a 100% mission success rate across more than 140 missions. Compared to typical clamp band separation systems, Rocket Lab's Lightbands are lighter weight, have a lower profile, shock and tip-off rate, and have attained the highest Technology Readiness Level by the US Government.

Part of the National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA), SDA's Transport Layer will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms. T1TL consists of a mesh network of 126 optically-interconnected space vehicles and will form the initial warfighting capability tranche of the NDSA.

"The Tranche 1 Transport Layer will provide crucial capabilities for the National Defense Space Architecture and we're proud to be delivering the separation systems that will deploy these spacecraft precisely and accurately," said Brad Clevenger, Vice President of Space Systems. "Being selected by not one but two companies building spacecraft for the SDA's Transport Layer is a real vote of confidence in our Lightbands which have delivered 100% mission success for more than 100 separations on orbit."

Previously, Rocket Lab's Lightbands has been used on NASA International Space Station and Space Shuttle missions, on all major U.S. and international rockets.

The Lightbands are a part of Rocket Lab's vertically-integrated Space Systems offering that also includes the in-house manufactured and operated spacecraft, satellite dispensers, and satellite components such as reaction wheels and star trackers, solar panels, and flight software.

Rocket Lab Announces Launch Window for Inaugural Electron Mission from Launch Complex 2 in Virginia
4:14 pm ET November 9, 2022 (BusinessWire)

[I-Man]

Rocket Lab's 32nd Electron launch, the "Catch Me If You Can" mission, is scheduled to launch from Pad B at Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 during a launch window opening on November 04, UTC. Electron will carry a science research satellite by space systems provider OHB Sweden for the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA). The Mesospheric Airglow/Aerosol Tomography and Spectroscopy (MATS) satellite is the basis for the SNSA's science mission to investigate atmospheric waves and better understand how the upper layer of Earth's atmosphere interacts with wind and weather patterns closer to the ground. MATS was originally due to fly on a Russian launch service before the mission was manifested on Rocket Lab's Electron.

"Catch Me If You Can" will see Rocket Lab attempt to capture the rocket's first stage mid-air with a helicopter as it returns from space. Using a modified Sikorsky S-92 helicopter to catch and secure the rocket by its parachute line, Rocket Lab will bring the captured stage back to its Auckland Production Complex to be processed and assessed by engineers and technicians for possible re-use.

$CRGE Cathie Wood’s Ark is buying stock in space SPAC Rocket Lab

Key Points

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest is dipping back into a space SPAC, with two of the firm’s funds buying up stock in Rocket Lab the past two days.
Ark’s exchange traded funds ARKQ and ARKX bought about 729,000 shares of Rocket Lab.
The purchases mark the first recent space SPAC stock the firm has owned since selling its position in Virgin Galactic in May 2021

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest is dipping back into a space SPAC, with two of the firm’s funds buying up stock in Rocket Lab the past two days.

Ark’s exchange-traded funds ARKQ and ARKX – which focus on autonomous technology and space exploration, respectively – bought about 729,000 shares of Rocket Lab in trades on Monday and Tuesday, the firm disclosed.

While Ark’s Rocket Lab position is relatively small, worth about $3 million total, the purchases mark the first recent space SPAC stock the firm has owned since selling its position in Virgin Galactic in May 2021.

Both ETFs also have significant positions in Iridium, a satellite communications company that went public via a SPAC deal in September 2009 – over a decade before the frenzy of space SPACs.

The purchases by Wood’s firm also follow Rocket Lab hosting an investor day in New York, where it gave updates on the progress of its Electron and Neutron rockets, as well as its space systems business

Rocket Lab stock was up 3% in trading on Wednesday from its previous close of $4.19 a share. Like many of its space SPAC peers, Rocket Lab shares have been hit hard of late, falling about 72% over the past 12 months.

I would like to take a wild guess & think that " maybe " the share price is tanking * along side everything else that is tanking * because .......... well " The Great Reset " + " The Severe Threat of World War Three " etc. , etc. .

Rocket Lab Signs Agreement with USTRANSCOM to Explore Using Neutron and Electron Rockets to Deliver Cargo Around the World
The agreement supports the U.S. Air Force’s rocket cargo project which is exploring new transport concepts for sending supplies and equipment across Earth via space.

Beck: "Neutron builds on Electron’s capability with a much larger payload capacity, and it’s designed for frequent reflight, making it a perfect fit to enable fast deployment of vital resources while eliminating the en-route stops and air refueling required by air cargo solutions."

Not quite as big/powerful/capable- but if RKLB can replicate the success they have had with the smaller electron rocket…. Going to be huge for the future.
