Rocket Lab

Rocket Lab is the clearest public rival to SpaceX in the small-rocket business, and it is trying to grow into much more. Its workhorse, the Electron, is the most-flown small launch vehicle in the world, carrying satellites to orbit for commercial and government customers, and the company is developing a larger, reusable rocket called Neutron to compete for bigger payloads. It also builds spacecraft and satellite components, aiming to be an end-to-end space company rather than just a launch provider. Founded in New Zealand in 2006 by Peter Beck and now based in Long Beach, California, Rocket Lab is not yet consistently profitable, so the stock trades on launch cadence, the progress of Neutron, and its growing backlog of space-systems work. It is a way for investors to bet on the commercialization of space without owning the private SpaceX.
