$RKLB IS MAKING MORE PER LAUNCH WHILE SPENDING LESS Rocket Lab Q2'25 vs Q2'26: - Revenue per launch: $7.9M → $9.1M (+15%) - Cost per launch: $5.0M → $4.4M (-12%) - Revenue minus cost per launch: $2.9M → $4.7M (+62%) Rocket Lab doesn't explain the cost drop nor disclose the mission mix, but here are my guesses for both: Revenue: - More HASTE missions, which can command higher prices (2 in Q2'26 vs none in Q2'25) - More complex government and defense missions - Stronger pricing power, as CFO Adam Spice has talked about cutting bulk-launch discounts as demand grew (Q2'25 call) Cost: - ~$40M fixed overhead spread across more missions - Spice also mentioned a 6% supply chain savings (Worth noting: these are Rocket Lab's own per-launch metrics, not GAAP profit, and reported launch revenue actually fell 4% because HASTE revenue gets booked over time) I think the exact drivers are still a guess, but the trend is clear that each launch is getting more profitable

$RKLB Rocket Lab just keeps executing. In 1H 2026, Electron made more money per launch than ever. The average selling price of an Electron launch is up 22.7% YoY, from $7.5M to $9.2M, while the cost per launch has fallen 7.5%, from $5.3M to $4.9M. Bullish.

$RKLB WANTS KODIAK UPGRADED AS IT PREPARES FOR SPACE FORCE LAUNCHES In an Oct 26 letter to the FAA, Rocket Lab lists what it wants improved at Kodiak, Alaska: - Port upgrades or a new dock closer to the spaceport, since today's port is more than an hour from the launch site - Better roads to move people and equipment to the pad faster - More housing and utilities for a growing workforce, which it asks for at both Kodiak and Wallops Rocket Lab's largest launch contract ever is a $266M Space Force deal for 12 suborbital launches, with options for 6 more, mostly flying from Kodiak These are still proposals, not approved projects

$RKLB SPACEX SAYS FAA AIRSPACE RULES COULD LIMIT ITS LAUNCH RATE In an Oct 26 letter to the FAA, SpaceX says today's air traffic system is "outdated and incapable" of handling a much higher launch cadence - Airspace closures still average over 2 hours per launch, vs "less than 3 minutes" in the FAA's own corridor concept - SpaceX expects to do 10,000 launches a year itself, vs 182 licensed US launches in 2025 - At that pace, the FAA's 10-day planning cycle would leave about 274 airspace notices in coordination at any one time - It wants priority launch corridors, airspace approval within 48 hours and no airspace fees Musk also said 10,000 Starship launches a year would come from Starbase Louisiana alone

$RKLB WANTS A LAND-BASED NEUTRON LANDING PAD AT WALLOPS In an Oct 26 letter to the FAA, Rocket Lab lists the upgrades it wants at Wallops Island, VA: - A landing pad so Neutron's booster can land back at the launch site, not just on its ocean platform, for faster turnaround - A gantry that meets national security launch standards, plus a classified payload processing facility, which Wallops doesn't have today - Dock upgrades to move large rocket parts in varying tide or weather - Upgrades to aging telemetry and range-surveillance systems, since the current ones have "repeated reliability challenges" Rocket Lab says upgrading existing spaceports beats building new ones. This is still a proposal, not an approved project

WHY $RKLB NEUTRON DOESN'T NEED A LAUNCH TOWER How Rocket Lab does it: - Neutron's wide base allows it to stand on a compact launch mount - The second stage and payload are integrated horizontally in a cleanroom - The upper module is transported to the pad and lifted onto the rocket using a crane - The Thrust Module, Neutron's only physical connection to the pad, is arriving at LC-3 in Wallops Less pad hardware means less to refurbish between launches. I think this matters more for Neutron's cost per launch than most people realize S/O @Couch_Investor for this cool video👇

$RKLB BLOOMBERG: CANADA'S TERRESTAR IS TEAMING UP WITH A UAE-BACKED VENTURE TO TAKE ON STARLINK - Terrestar signed an agreement this week to work with Equatys, the satellite-to-phone venture the UAE's Space42 and Viasat are forming - Equatys has up to $1B in equity commitments, with $400M each from Viasat and Space42 - Operators would pool satellites and ground networks but keep full ownership of what they contribute - Space42 says Equatys will compete with Starlink using "a far more efficient and performing system" - Targeting its first system by the end of 2029 Terrestar's CEO said building a LEO constellation alone "is not something that could be sustainable"

$RKLB IS GUIDING FOR RECORD Q3 REVENUE, BUT LOWER GROSS PROFIT Some things I find interesting going into Q3 earnings: Q2 actual → Q3 guidance (GAAP): - Revenue: $234.1M → $250M to $265M - Gross margin: 36.1% → 29% to 31% - Gross profit: $84.6M → $72.5M to $82.2M The dip in gross margin is caused by - More lower-margin satellite programs in the mix - Q2 also included an $8.1M one-time revenue boost (an accounting catch-up after Rocket Lab lowered cost estimates on existing contracts). By my math, Q2 margin was closer to 33.9% without it - The CFO expects "a beneficial remixing impact on gross margins" after Q3 I'll be watching whether margins bounce back in the Q4 guide on Nov 9

$RKLB THE FCC VOTES TOMORROW ON SATELLITE-TO-PHONE SPECTRUM - The FCC proposes letting satellite companies use another 482 MHz of carrier-owned spectrum to connect directly to phones - Eligible bands would expand from 5 to 13 - AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile are pushing back, asking the FCC to exclude the 2.5 GHz and 3.45 GHz bands (290 MHz of the proposed expansion) The meeting starts at 10:30 AM ET. A yes vote opens the proposal to public comment. It does not finalize rules

$RKLB IS HIRING CRACKED PROPULSION ENGINEERS - Rocket Lab is holding a propulsion hiring event in Long Beach on Nov 6 - Long Beach is where Rocket Lab develops and builds the Archimedes engines for Neutron Rocket Lab is bringing in more top engineers for Neutron and its satellites 👀

AMAZON'S $11.5B GLOBALSTAR DEAL HAS A BIG $RKLB CONNECTION The FCC approved Amazon's acquisition of Globalstar yesterday and Rocket Lab built key parts of Globalstar's new network - Rocket Lab was selected to develop Globalstar's satellite operations control center on its MAX ground software - it's designed to monitor and control both Globalstar's existing fleet and the 17 new satellites - Rocket Lab also built the 17 spacecraft platforms for Globalstar's replacement satellites under a $143M subcontract from MDA Space - the first 8 launched on Aug 15 and are all performing nominally This is great news for RKLB
