Rocket Lab signs $460 million deal with US missile tracking tech company

Photo: AFP / John Hamilton / US Army The headline of this story has been updated to remove the suggestion that Rocket Lab will build a missile defence system as part of the deal. California-based Rocket Lab says it has done a deal with a company capable of helping build the Golden Dome missile defence system. It has signed up to buy the parent holding company of Arizona firm Geost for $460 million. Geost develops electro-optical and infrared technology used in missile warning and tracking, surveillance and reconnaissance, Rocket Lab said. These were "core capabilities" for the likes of the Pentagon's proposed constellation of low-orbit satellites, as well as for the Dome, the company said on its website . The aim of the Dome is to create a shield that can shoot down all sorts of missiles including nuclear warheads. US President Donald Trump last week put the cost of the Golden Dome at $300 billion, but many analysts say it will cost much more. Critics have said it risks undermining global security by fuelling a new arms race involving space. Sir Peter Beck said the Geost deal positioned Rocket Lab as a "disruptive prime" - meaning major - contractor to US national security. "Rocket Lab was founded to disrupt the traditional space industry and we're doing just that," Beck said on the firm's website. "By bringing these mission critical payloads in-house, Rocket Lab enhances its ability to rapidly deliver integrated spacecraft systems purpose-built for US national security," the website said. The acquisition to be settled later this year would take the company's staff numbers to 2600 in factories and at test and launch sites in New Zealand, California, Virginia, Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico, Toronto and Arizona.

Judith Collins Tells Security Summit NZ Setting Up Space Squadron
Article – RNZ Judith Collin told those at the inter-governmental conference the Air Force's 62 Squadron would be reactivated. Phil Pennington, Reporter The Defence Minister has told a security summit New Zealand is setting up a space squadron against a backdrop of rising threats. Judith Collins told the high level Shangri-La inter-governmental conference in Singapore the Air Force's 62 Squadron would be reactivated. She also told the summit that as New Zealand doubled its defence spending, 'We need to ensure that we are building capabilities that are effective into the future and this is particularly true for the domains of space, cyber and undersea warfare.' In World War Two 62 Squadron ran radar operations in the Pacific in Bougainville and the Solomon Islands, including in the Guadacanal campaign. 'The 21st century 62 Squadron will again turn to the skies, it's just going to be a little bit higher this time,' Collins said, appearing on a panel talking about cyber, undersea and space challenges. Reuters previously reported the squadron would be reactivated in July with 15 personnel in what was a symbolic step to formalise the significance of the space work the Air Force was already doing. Collins told the summit New Zealand was also working with its partners to 'leverage out launch capabilities and our other unique advantages such as a lack of immediate neighbours, to support our shared security interests'. The United States recently confirmed it was in talks with several partner countries, including New Zealand, about the potential for more military satellite launches in future – though Collins had said she was not 'directly' engaged with that, and the NZ Defence Force said launch contracts were a matter for the US and private company Rocket Lab that has spaceports at Mahia and in the US. 'No nation can work on space alone,' Collins told the summit, while pointing out 'we beat Russia' for the number of rocket launches last year. Transparency around space, cyber and undersea developments was key to avoid misunderstandings, she said. China's senior colonel Shen Zhixiong said the militarisation of space and other emerging technology domains had accelerated, undermining collective security, asking the panel how the international community should resolve that. Collins herself had noted New Zealand's reliance as a small state on a rules-based order. Also, she noted satellites were increasingly crucial and 'increasingly attractive targets for hostile action' despite the big downsides of using weapons in space. She singled out Russia, and claims from US lawmakers that Moscow was developing a nuclear weapon for use in space, for special mention. The $12 billion defence capability plan that covered till 2029, and aimed by 2032 to double New Zealand defence spending, would make the NZDF 'increasingly lethal', she told the summit. The plan featured investment in space systems (up to $600m by 2029), cyber (up to $300m) and 'for the very first time' in maritime surface and subsea drones (up to $100m) to surveil what was happening in New Zealand's vast ocean surrounds, she said. However, Budget 2025 provided only $30m for space shared with a range of other 'small-scale' projects; it had no funding for maritime drones, only for aerial counter-drone systems. There was an undisclosed amount for 'an initial uplift to the defensive cyber capabilities' from 2025-29, Budget 2025 said. A lot of money is still having to be poured into conventional kit – replacing both the Navy's maritime helicopters, and the old, breakdown-prone two 757 planes operated by the Air Force.

Concern unis will be weakened by focus on science
By John Gerritsen of RNZ Next year's funding boost for science courses and other associated subjects won't drive up enrolments in those fields, universities warn. They also calculate that the government's decision to increase funding for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects, but not for most other fields in 2026 is a net zero. That's because this year's Budget allowed an emergency two-year 4% funding boost to lapse. Craig Marshall, an associate professor at the University of Otago's School of Biomedical Sciences and a member of the Tertiary Education Union's council, told RNZ without a serious funding increase, universities would increasingly struggle to offer the research-informed teaching that defined them. The ongoing decline in funding compared to inflation could prove fatal, he believed. "I think it'll be incremental. You'll just see small losses here and there and everywhere else and at the end of it all it's very difficult to predict what that leads to, but perhaps the loss of a university." Marshall said the latest decisions meant universities would struggle to offer some humanities courses and students would start to vote with their feet. "What we're starting to see is students instead of coming to universities in New Zealand from school, they'll go to universities overseas. They see that as a better outcome. "Increasingly, students opt now for postgrad graduate training outside of New Zealand, rather than in New Zealand. Some of the universities will be weakened, some may be fatally weakened." Marshall agreed the government was unlikely to let a university to go under, but one or more could lose the ability to provide the research-informed teaching that fostered critical thought - in which case it would cease to be a university in all but name. Universities New Zealand chief executive Chris Whelan said the long-term trend for university funding was poor, but none of the eight institutions was close to failing. "It's becoming challenging to basically retain our position internationally. "We shouldn't care about things like international rankings, but the reality is they do send quite important signals to academic staff, to people that want to do research collaborations with New Zealand researchers and to international students," he said, referring to league tables in which New Zealand universities had been falling. "There is a tipping point where if funding got so low we were not able to maintain that quality, we would have a problem. But I don't think we're anywhere near that." However, Whelan said the net effect of last month's Budget was no increase to total university funding next year. That was about as good as the sector could have expected under the circumstances. But he said the government's decision to favour STEM subjects over humanities was mistaken. "It's an unfortunate message. There seems to be a belief that somehow universities, if they're given more funding for science, technology, engineering, maths-type subjects, can persuade students to drop doing the liberal arts or social sciences and shift across. "The reality is that's just not the case," he said. All fields of university study contributed to the skilled workforce the government said it wanted, he said. Universities minister Shane Reti told RNZ that was correct, but STEM subjects were more closely linked to productivity. "The message we're sending is that we're particularly investing and funding those courses that clearly have a pathway to productivity and economic gain and these are generally the science and the STEM subjects." Enrolments in those subjects had been increasing and the funding decision should encourage universities to increase the breadth and depth of their STEM programmes, Reti said, and universities were not sliding toward failure. "Across the sector, there are some who are doing well and some who are struggling and indeed have been struggling for some period of time and and are receiving extra attention support and monitoring from TEC (the Tertiary Education Commission). "But if we look at the big picture, there's a significant increase in student numbers this year... It's quite a change in trend from over the previous few years where student numbers have been falling away." The government had allocated $111m over the next two years to cover growing university enrolments, he said. He confirmed that the government had allocated enough funding to cover 99% of expected enrolments next year and the commission would be expected to cover the remainder from its reserves. Changing shares of the enrolment pie Ministry of Education Ministry show that sciences have lost ground against other subjects in terms of enrolments in Bachelors degrees in the past 10 years. Considered by predominant field of study, the percentage of students enrolled in the "natural and physical sciences" dropped from 14 to 13% between 2024 and 2015. Health enrolments rose from 17 to 20 percent while education, management and commerce, and the creative arts all dropped slightly.
