Rocket Lab opens new seaside launch pad for Neutron rocket

Rocket Lab has opened a new launch complex in Virginia for its reusable Neutron rocket, which is designed for medium-sized satellite launches and could have its first flight by the end of 2025. The Neutron rocket features a fully reusable first stage, a novel design with the second stage inside the first, and aims to fill a market gap for heavier payloads. The launch site at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility marks a significant milestone for Rocket Lab and U.S. space access.
