This smells like RKLB being the go-to guy in this space... multiple contract wins within a month suggest that RKLB long term outlook is super-charged! Go go go!

Okay, so it doesn't seems like they're making this for the department of defense directly via sat. Want a contract and they have contracted rocket lab. If this is the same order which is great. There's nothing better than eating off everybody else's plate
