About this calendar

Rocket Lab Launches tracks every announced Electron mission and the forthcoming Neutron programme for Rocket Lab, the launch company that operates from Māhia, New Zealand, and Wallops Island, Virginia. The schedule is built from Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs and reflects the company's flight manifest as it stands for the current space season, with missions listed as they move from planning to a firm launch window. The calendar entries centre on individual launch attempts from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in the Māhia Peninsula and, for future work, the Wallops site in the United States. Typical listings include the vehicle name, payload, and pad or launch complex, with examples such as Electron / Kakushin Rising (JAXA Rideshare), Electron / StriX Launch 9, Electron / The Grain Goddess Provides (iQPS Launch 7), Electron / LOXSAT 1, and Electron / VICTUS HAZE Puma. That mix shows how Rocket Lab’s schedule spans commercial satellites, government missions, and rideshare flights, often clustered around the same launch range when payload readiness and range availability line up. Launch timing is driven by mission integration, weather, and range coordination, so several entries can sit close together in the queue before final confirmation. Subscribers who follow Rocket Lab’s cadence can use this smart calendar feed, free to subscribe, to keep launch attempts visible in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook without manual copying. That matters for space watchers, satellite operators, journalists, and aerospace investors who need the manifest close at hand when a mission shifts from tentative to confirmed. The feed is useful for tracking recurring Electron launches from Māhia, where the range handles frequent small-lift missions, and for watching how Neutron slips into the schedule as development advances. Because launch windows can change with upper-air winds, range constraints, or payload delays, the calendar provides a practical way to keep the next attempt aligned with other commitments. The calendar updates regularly, and the refresh rate increases as liftoff approaches, so cancellations, scrubs, and rescheduled attempts appear automatically. That makes the listing more reliable than a static schedule, particularly for missions such as JAXA rideshares and iQPS launches that may move as final checks are completed. For anyone following Rocket Lab’s launch rhythm across New Zealand and the United States, the feed offers a clear record of what is next, where it is set to lift off, and how the sequence evolves over time.
