Rocket Lab and Meta partner on space-based solar power, with Rocket Lab introducing a new High Performance Star Tracker for long-duration, high-radiation orbits.

Rocket Lab and Meta Platforms are working together on space-based solar power, using satellites to collect solar energy in orbit and positioning Rocket Lab to supply both launch services and satellite subsystems for these missions.

Rocket Lab introduced a new High Performance Star Tracker aimed at long-duration missions in high-radiation orbits, broadening the company's vertical integration beyond launch services into satellite subsystems.

The partnership and new technology expand Rocket Lab's role on each mission, supporting multi-year revenue growth through end-to-end space solutions, though broader product integration increases execution demands.
