Since setting up shop in 2017, the tiny rocket maker had launched a total of just 10 rockets -- fewer than three per year -- out of its Launch Complex 1 (LC-1) in New Zealand. LC-1 was hardly working at full capacity. And yet, Rocket Lab had high hopes to grow its business, launch more frequently, and one day perhaps even challenge SpaceX for dominance in space launch. First, however, Rocket Lab really needed to get closer to one of its most lucrative customers: the U.S. government.
