Rocket Lab Corp shares were up about 1% in pre-market trading Wednesday before pulling back slightly with broader markets. Here’s a look at what’s going on.

What Happened: Rocket Lab scheduled its third Electron launch in less than a month after the market close on Tuesday. Shares drifted higher following the announcement.

The mission, called “The Mountain God Guards,” is for a Japan-based Earth imaging company Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space. The mission will launch from New Zealand during a launch window that opens on June 10, and place a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellite into orbit.

‘The Mountain God Guards’ mission will be the company’s third Electron launch in just 24 days, which Rocket Lab said demonstrates the repeatable, reliable and dedicated access to space the company offers.

The mission represents the company’s eighth Electron launch in 2025 and 66th Electron launch overall.
