Rocket Lab has secured a $397 million contract from the US Space Force to develop, launch, and operate advanced Flatellites for the Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator (SB-AMTI) program. These Flatellites will enhance real-time detection and tracking of airborne threats from space, using next-gen sensors and high-bandwidth communication. The satellites will be launched on Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket and operated from secure facilities, supporting the Space Force's goal of persistent, real-time battlespace awareness. This contract highlights Rocket Lab's integrated approach to satellite design, launch, and operations, strengthening US military capabilities in contested airspace environments.
