Why Use A Southern Hemisphere Rocket Launch?

Rocket Lab offers a unique Southern Hemisphere rocket launch by virtue of there not being many other launch options operating. Most suborbital and orbital launch activity originates in the Northern Hemisphere. Rocket Lab offers an exciting and cost-effective new option to perform space science research in the Southern Hemisphere.

With clear airspace, lower atmosphere pollution and a favourable regulatory environment, a Southern Hemisphere launch option is attractive for many launch profile requirements.

Rocket Lab's suborbital rocket vehicle is extremely portable and the launch site can easily be relocated, including in the Northern Hemisphere, with the appropriate airspace and local authority clearances.
