The company is developing the Neutron launch vehicle to lift payloads up to 13,000 kg, a significant increase over its current Electron rocket. This strategic initiative is designed to capture the growing market for large constellation deployments, which its current fleet cannot service, and represents a major capital expenditure on R&D, manufacturing, and testing.
Filing excerpt
Building on our strong foundation with Electron, we are now developing our Neutron launch vehicle. We anticipate Neutron will have a payload capacity of approximately 13,000 kg for reusable configuration launches to low Earth orbit and support lighter payloads for higher orbits.
