From a young age Sir Peter Beck had his mind set on one thing: space. And as he tinkered with motorbikes in his parents’ garage as a teenager, he was quietly forming a plan—a plan that would eventuate into the establishment of one of the most dynamic and influential aerospace manufacturers the world has ever seen.
The Launch of Rocket Lab traces Rocket Lab’s extraordinary journey from fledgling start-up to international powerhouse competing against two of the world’s richest men in the global space race.
Remarkable behind-the-scenes photographs and original interviews with Beck, his team, investors, and industry experts provide a thrilling insider account of each step in Rocket Lab’s path to success. From the early days raising venture capital to the successful launch of the first Electron small orbital launch vehicle—which transformed the way we see and access space—to the company’s expansion across the US, going public on the stock exchange, and its countless partnerships with major organizations including the DARPA, the Space Test Program, United States Air Force Space Command, and NASA.
Now the fastest company to launch 50 rockets into space, with a market cap of US$13.63 billion, a mission to Mars in production, and plans to reach Venus in the foreseeable future, Rocket Lab has long outgrown its humble beginnings and far surpassed international expectations. A story of of innovation, dedication, teamwork, and brilliance, The Launch of Rocket Lab documents the company’s past as it looks to a future of unlimited possibility.
