Rocket Lab has secured a $397 million contract from the U.S. Space Force to develop, launch, and operate advanced Flatellites under the Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator (SB-AMTI) program. This initiative aims to enhance real-time airborne threat detection using a constellation of next-gen flat satellites launched on Rocket Lab's Neutron rocket. The contract highlights Rocket Lab's integrated capabilities in satellite design, launch, and operations, supporting the military's need for persistent, resilient space-based tracking in contested environments. Additional Flatellites may be added under contract options, further strengthening U.S. defense space assets.
