☆ Rocket Lab revenue increases slightly, company adds NASA launch contract
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Rocket Lab's revenue increased slightly in the first quarter, but losses grew as well, as the spacecraft and launch company added a NASA contract and continued to invest in its future Neutron vehicle. Rocket Lab said an increase in R&D spending for its Neutron rocket and Photon spacecraft drove a rise in expenses. The development of our larger rocket Neutron is continuing at pace," Rocket Lab founder and CEO Peter Beck said in a statement. It had $450 million in cash on hand at the quarter's end, down from $484.3 million the prior quarter. Shares of Rocket Lab were little changed in after-hours trading from its close at $3.94 a share.
☆ Elon Musk once praised a rocket CEO who didn't go to college for beating Jeff Bezos to orbit, new book reveals: 'Bezos has spent a shitload of money, and he hasn't made it'
  + stars: | 2023-05-08 | by ( Britney Nguyen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A new book reveals Elon Musk once praised a rival New Zealand rocket CEO in a 2018 phone call. Musk said it was "impressive" that Rocket Lab launched a rocket into orbit before Blue Origin, per the book. Like SpaceX, Rocket Lab has been able to launch rockets into orbit — something Bezos' Blue Origin company has not yet achieved. In March, Rocket Lab launched its 35th Electron rocket just a week after launching its 34th Electron rocket. Neither Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, nor Musk responded to Insider's requests for comment.
☆ Loaf-size mission to improve hurricane forecasting is ready to launch
  + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —A new mission designed to improve hurricane forecasting is ready to launch, just ahead of the June 1 arrival of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. The NASA mission includes a constellation of CubeSats called TROPICS, or Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats. The launch of this first mission, nicknamed “Rocket Like a Hurricane,” will stream live on NASA’s website and Rocket Lab’s website. Two additional CubeSats, nicknamed “Coming to a Storm Near You,” will launch from the same location later this month. The TROPICS satellites will launch from New Zealand.

These kind of megadeals are at the vanguard of billions of dollars of annual spending on classic cars globally in a wave of investment in this alternative asset. "The track record of the past 30 years tells us classic cars have become a financial asset class we want our clients to have in their portfolios."

☆ New Zealander without college degree couldn't talk his way into NASA or Boeing—so he built a $1.8 billion rocket company
  + stars: | 2023-04-11 | by ( Tom Huddleston Jr. | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Beck launched the company, Rocket Lab, later that same year. Running a rocket company is kind of like that scene in "Indiana Jones," where he's getting chased by that giant ball. What do you wish you'd known when you decided to start your own rocket company? At that time, that was an absurd amount of money for a rocket startup. A rocket startup from someone living in New Zealand was even more absurd.
☆ Rocket Lab targets $50 million launch price for Neutron rocket to challenge SpaceX's Falcon 9

During its fourth-quarter report last month, Rocket Lab said it had begun producing the first tank structures of Neutron, as well as construction of the launch pad for the rocket. That means Neutron is targeting a "$50 million to $55 million launch service cost," Spice said. "We don't have any hard data on that but certainly, if that was to happen, that'd be an incredibly bullish thing for Neutron," Spice said. More than rocketsSpice also emphasized to the Bank of America audience that Rocket Lab is "much more than" just a rocket company. As CEO Peter Beck has previously noted, Rocket Lab aims to create an "end-to-end platform for customers" who need space-based services.

☆ Rocket Lab's attempt to catch rocket booster falls short
  + stars: | 2022-11-04 | by ( Jackie Wattles | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —Rocket Lab, a start-up building small orbital rockets, kicked off another successful mission on Friday — but it failed in its efforts to recapture its rocket booster as it tumbled down toward Earth. Rocket Lab positioned a modified Sikorsky S-92 helicopter to intercept it mid-descent, aiming to snag the booster by its strings. Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck has noted that it’s preferable to catch the rocket midair to keep it dry. A lot remains unclear about how Rocket Lab will ultimately reuse its rockets. Beck cited the company as a model for how Rocket Lab would proceed.
☆ Investing in Space: Rockets are only the beginning
  + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( Michael Sheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
CNBC's Investing in Space newsletter offers a view into the business of space exploration and privatization, delivered straight to your inbox. But the CEOs of these companies will tell you that tapping into the global launch market isn't enough. "The big space companies of the future are not just a launch company on its own or a spacecraft manufacturer on its own. Breaking into the launch market may seem hard (and expensive) enough on its own. Virgin Orbit is similarly developing a satellite business, which CEO Dan Hart told CNBC he hopes can "unlock" space-based services.
