Rocket Lab completed 21 Electron launches in 2025, bringing its lifetime total to 79 missions on that vehicle and 245 satellites deployed. Customers included the U.S. Space Force, BlackSky, Japan’s Synspective and iQPS, and national agencies. This launch cadence outpaced all other U.S. small-lift orbital providers and positioned Rocket Lab as a go-to partner for rapid, reliable access to low Earth orbit.

In the third quarter of 2025, Rocket Lab reported record revenue of $155 million, a 48% increase from the same period a year earlier. Gross profit rose to $57.3 million, corresponding to a 37% margin—the highest in company history. Operating expenses of $116.2 million led to an operating loss of $58.9 million, while net losses narrowed to $18.25 million, or $0.03 per share, from $51.93 million, or $0.10 per share, in Q3 2024.

Rocket Lab secured an $816 million contract with the U.S. Space Development Agency to build missile-tracking satellites, underpinning a launch backlog of 49 missions. The company closed its $325 million acquisition of Geost and is finalizing the purchase of Mynaric to add electro-optical, infrared and laser-communications capabilities. With more than $1 billion in liquidity on hand and plans to move its reusable Neutron launch vehicle to a platform in early 2026, management expects to accelerate launch frequency and expand into deep-space and human-rated missions.
