What does Rocket Lab offer?
Rocket Lab publishes Electron launch services alongside configurable spacecraft, satellite components and flight and ground software. Its space-systems portfolio means a founder could be evaluating a component supplier, a spacecraft integration partner or a launch provider within the same organization. Specify the deliverable and product line before treating those engagements as comparable.
Questions for a shortlist
For launch, identify the target orbit, payload interface, integration milestones and schedule responsibility. For spacecraft or components, establish the supplied configuration, qualification evidence, software scope and acceptance boundary. Ask who owns the interfaces between your payload, the spacecraft, the launch service and ground operations.
