Rocket Lab Launch Pads
Global launch sites and infrastructure
Dual-hemisphere launch complexes for responsive orbital access.
Rocket Lab operates private and domestic launch complexes spanning both hemispheres — pairing the unmatched cadence and inclination flexibility of Mahia, New Zealand with strategic U.S. civil, defense, and Neutron infrastructure at Wallops Island, Virginia.
Launch Complex 1 — Mahia, New Zealand
World's only private orbital launch site. Features dual operational pads (Pad 1A & Pad 1B), dedicated cleanrooms, and licensing for up to 120 launches per year with unmatched orbital inclination freedom (39° to Sun-Synchronous Orbit).
Launch Complex 2 & 3 — Wallops Island, VA
Located at NASA Wallops Flight Facility / MARS. LC-2 serves U.S. domestic civil, commercial, and national security missions (Electron & HASTE). LC-3 is the dedicated launch, assembly, and landing site for the Neutron medium-lift rocket.
