The first launch is expected no earlier than end of this year, primarily from the company's Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska in Kodiak.

Additionally, market sentiment continues to be supported by the company's $80 billion acquisition of Iridium Communications, which integrates global L-band satellite networks and spectrum resources with Rocket Lab's existing launch and satellite manufacturing capabilities.
