Rocket Lab gets $120 million equipment and expansion financing

Trinity Capital on Tuesday announced the commitment of $120 million in equipment financing to Rocket Lab space launch service provider.

The latest financing announcement comes after the Space Development Agency (SDA) contracted $515 million to Rocket Lab to develop and operate 18 of its satellites.

The rocket maker designs and produces satellite technologies in-house and integrates them into more than 1,700 satellites. The company has also deployed 176 satellites through 43 launches as of February 2024.

The new $120 million financing will allow Rocket Lab to expand its manufacturing facility, bring new test equipment, and conduct more research and development.

These new activities will help the rocket company to grow its operations around the globe and help it increase its launch capacities.
