Rocket Lab will fly the first of 12 suborbital HASTE launches, with options for up to six more, for the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command's Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP) in support of missile defense. The first launch is expected no earlier than the end of 2026 from one of Rocket Lab's existing launch complexes. Later launches will primarily fly from a new Rocket Lab site at the Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska in Kodiak.
