"Space Force Contracts Rocket Lab at Double Price for Historic Orbit War Simulation"
Rocket Lab wins a $515 million contract from the U.S. Space Force to build satellites for a missile defense system and secures a $14.5 million contract to launch an experimental satellite. The company's move to develop a launch complex in the U.S. near a NASA facility has paid off, allowing it to compete for lucrative government contracts. Rocket Lab aims to increase profitability by charging higher prices for its launches, reusing rockets, and winning more government contracts.
