Peter Beck, founder, and CEO of aerospace manufacturer Rocket Lab said that their company is starting to feel the effect of increasing congestion in outer space.
Aerospace company Rocket Lab has announced that its next mission will be carrying payloads from Planet and Canon Electronics through the ridesharing capacities of its Electron rocket, September 22.
Rocket Lab, the private aerospace company behind the Electron launch vehicle, has received a five-year Launch Operator License from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Rocket Lab said that the Series D round of funding brings total rise by the company to $148 million, and values the company at more than $1 billion. The company also announced earlier a Series B round of unspecified size in 2015.
