Rocket Lab has inaugurated Launch Complex 3 (LC-3) for its Neutron rocket, which is set to launch from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) on Wallops Island, Virginia.
Neutron represents a pivotal advancement in the company’s shift from small-lift to medium-lift launch services and fully realizes its goal of full reusability.
This new facility, built at Pad 0D within NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, is Rocket Lab’s fourth launch site overall and is specifically engineered for the reusable Neutron rocket, next door to the company’s current Electron launcher.
