Rocket Lab Corp., which provides launch services and space systems, says it has established Rocket Lab Germany GmbH. The strategic expansion is part of the company’s international growth and supports potential future scaling of Rocket Lab satellite and component manufacturing in Germany to provide “sovereign space capabilities” to Europe, the Long Beach-based company said in a news release earlier this week. Shares in Rocket Lab rose less than 1% to $80.30 apiece to $51.4 billion (Nasdaq: RKLB).
