MW Rocket Lab's stock climbs after company completes two launches in less than 24 hours

By James Rogers

Space-launch company Rocket Lab successfully completed the two launches in different hemispheres

Shares of Rocket Lab USA Inc. are up 7.2% in premarket trades, boosted by successful launches in two different hemispheres in less than 24 hours.

The company said that the launches set a new Rocket Lab $(RKLB)$ record for the fastest launch turnaround. At 10:55 p.m. Eastern, Rocket Lab's "Ice AIS Baby" mission successfully launched five satellites from the company's Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand. The launch of the satellites from French constellation operator Kinéis marked Rocket Lab's 56th Electron rocket mission, the Long Beach, Calif.-based space specialist said in a statement.

Rocket Lab highlighted strong demand for its Electron rocket during its third-quarter results earlier this month. The company is planning the first test launch of its new Neutron rocket in 2025, which will be followed by three launches in 2026.
