Neutron will be a game changer that disrupts the current SpaceX medium launch monopoly. Neutron is more cost efficient than Falcon 9 and nixes the excuse to only give public space money to Musk. Neutron can also let EU have access to Elon-independent cheap launch. Bullish on #RKLB #stocks #investing

🚨 $RKLB 🚨

Why is Rocket Lab USA trending today? 🤔

Liquidated my Astra (#ASTR) position. Took a 99% loss on that one since the SPAC offering and the latest news is basically that of a clown car.

Haven't put much into it since the SPAC era, and the remaining horse that I'm riding is #RKLB since #VORB went out of business earlier this year.

Still bullish on the space sector and still believe will lead to some great returns in the future, but it's clear that there's a lot of churning in the years ahead.

"In terms of orbital rockets, only NASA's space shuttle and SpaceX's Falcon 9 vehicles have demonstrated the capability of re-flying an engine. With Rutherford, Rocket Lab has now also flown a rocket engine that landed in the ocean for the first time."

#rocketlab just got another launch contract from Synspective, bringing the total contracted launches to 6!

Synspective is an Earth observation company focused on SAR imaging.
To date, Rocket Lab has been the sole launcher of the Synspective constellation.

Another cool thing mentioned in the press release:

"In addition to providing Synspective with a high degree over schedule and orbit by flying as a dedicated mission, Rocket Lab also delivers the unique ability to perform an advanced mid-mission maneuver with the Electron rocket’s Kick Stage to shield the StriX satellite from the sun to reduce radiation exposure ahead of payload deployment."

The launches are planned for late 2023.

The #psyche mission is almost ready for launch!

The Psyche mission will explore a metal-rich asteroid which is called... well... Psyche!

The launch window opens in October and it will be launched on a Falcon Heavy.

Due to the 1 year delay, they need to take a different route to the asteroid. The new plan is to do a flyby of mars and do a gravity assist.

Psyche uses electric propulsion, which means it needs lots of power. Here is where #rocketlab comes in, they will provide the solar panels to power the spacecraft.

Psyche will reach Psyche in 2029.

The spacecraft will orbit the asteroid – also shown in this illustration – for nearly two years to investigate its composition. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU

I forgot to comment on this earlier, but I hope it's a precursor to an eventual state where Rocket Lab has acquired Astra's Hall Effect thrusters and added it to their Space Systems portfolio. It makes a lot more sense there than it does with Astra at the moment.

We'll have to see if Astra gets its act together with Rocket 4 or whether the Astra Spacecraft Engine becomes something else Rocket Lab picks up in a firesale.

While I'm a big fan of Rocket Lab across the board, I especially dig the fun names they give their missions.

Looking forward to "Baby Come Back" next week!

"Musk mostly blew off Rocket Lab and Beck. Over the next few years, Beck would fashion himself as SpaceX’s worthiest rival and the one likeliest to benefit from an increasingly distracted Musk, who’s now carrying a Twitter-size millstone around his neck. And Beck would do it in the least Musky way possible."
