Rocket Lab Corp.<\/a>\u00a0(Long Beach, Calif., U.S.) has unveiled the\u00a0Global Hypersonic & Orbital Spaceport Technology (GHOST) system, a containerized launch system to enable suborbital and orbital deployment \u2014 including complete rockets, launch infrastructure, ground support and range control systems \u2014\u00a0from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

GHOST\u2019s first location,\u00a0named Rocket Lab Launch Complex 4,\u00a0will be at the Pacific Spaceport Complex at Kodiak, Alaska, with two pads to be established for high-frequency launch campaigns. The two pads will complement Rocket Lab\u2019s existing suborbital and orbital launch sites at Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, and Launch Complex 2 and Launch Complex 3 in Virginia, bringing the total number of pads operated by Rocket Lab to six across two hemispheres. The system is set to make its operational debut with a suborbital launch from Alaska in 2027.<\/p>\n

Because both Electron and HASTE use the same ground infrastructure, GHOST delivers a dual-launch capability across new locations, enabling Rocket Lab to expand the mission profiles of both vehicles and meet increasing international demand for orbital and suborbital sovereign launch capability. GHOST\u2019s modular and small footprint is purpose-built to support responsive launch needs and time-critical national security missions, enabling rapid site activation and simultaneous launch possibilities.<\/p>\n

GHOST\u2019s announcement has been followed quickly by Rocket Lab\u2019s dedicated Neutron mission<\/a> for\u00a0space infrastructure company Kepler Communications Inc.<\/p>\n
