Rocket Lab: The Year 2024 in Review: Our Biggest Year Yet
Rocket Lab's Electron
Electron is the "only reusable orbital-class small rocket". Electron’s first stage design provides higher launch frequency and lower launch costs. Rocket Lab's Rutherford Engine is the "world’s first 3D-printed, electric-pump-fed rocket engine." Rocket Lab was founded in New Zealand in 2006. Rocket Lab currently launches from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Wallops Island, Virginia, USA, and from the Māhia Peninsula on New Zealand's North Island.
