Europe's Navigation Future Takes Flight With Rocket Lab Electron
Rocket Lab Corp. (NASDAQ:RKLB) announced Wednesday that the European Space Agency (ESA) chose it to launch a dedicated Electron mission for the first time, marking a key step in Europe's future LEO-based navigation system. Rocket Lab will launch two 'Pathfinder A' satellites, developed by Thales Alenia Space and GMV, from its Launch Complex 1 by December 2025. These satellites will enter a 510km low Earth orbit to test LEO-PNT (Low Earth Orbit Positioning, Navigation, and Timing), a new method for delivering location and timing aims to evaluate how satellites in low Earth orbit can complement the existing Galileo and EGNOS systems in medium and geostationary orbits. Rocket Lab previously supported European clients, including a whole IoT constellation for Kinéis and a wildfire detection satellite for OroraTech. Its Electron vehicle began flying European missions in 2021. In a separate update, the company announced a rapid turnaround in its Electron launch schedule. It is preparing to launch its next mission for geospatial analytics firm HawkEye 360 in just two days from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. Scheduled for no earlier than Thursday, June 26 UTC, the mission, titled 'Get The Hawk Outta Here', will fly ahead of a previously planned launch that was delayed for additional system checks. This swift pivot demonstrates Rocket Lab's agility in maintaining a demanding, back-to-back launch cadence. The mission will carry four satellites for HawkEye 360, including three microsats under Cluster 12 to geolocate global radio frequency signals, and Kestrel-0A, an experimental satellite to test future RF capabilities. As the third of four planned Electron launches from Launch Complex 1 this month, the mission highlights Rocket Lab's operational flexibility and commitment to serving diverse small satellite missions. Rocket Lab stock surged 606% in the last 12 months. The company just added two new missions to its 2025 Electron launch manifest. Rocket Lab has now secured a demand for over 20 launches in 2025. With a flawless mission success rate so far this year, CEO Peter Beck is betting big on scaling launch cadence. Multiple analysts lifted price targets on Rocket Lab following the company's acquisition of high-performance optical systems producer Geost. Rocket Lab said the acquisition positioned the company as a provider of end-to-end national security space solutions and strengthened its position for achieving the U.S. Department of Defense's goals for resilient, proliferated space architectures, like the proposed Golden Dome architecture. Price Action: RKLB shares are trading lower by 1.46% to $32.97 premarket at last check Wednesday.

AI Weekly: Apple sued, papal thoughts and bank bots
STORY: From how big claims landed Apple in court, to what the new pope thinks about bots, this is AI Weekly. Apple is being sued by shareholders who allege it overstated its progress on AI. :: Apple A suit filed in San Francisco accused the tech giant of falsely leading investors to believe the tech would be a big feature of its iPhone 16. But Apple later delayed the rollout of some promised AI upgrades, which the plaintiffs say sparked a share tumble and cost them billions. The firm didn't respond to a request for comment on the case. Anthropic has a partial legal win to celebrate, however. A federal judge ruled that it didn't break copyright law by using books to train its bots without permission from authors. But the same judge said its copying and storage of some 7 million pirated books was an infringement. A December trial will now determine what penalty Anthropic must pay. Pope Leo has offered his thoughts on AI. The new pontiff spoke at a Vatican event attended by lawmakers from 68 nations. He said the impact of the new tech on young people was a key concern: "It must not be forgotten that artificial intelligence functions as a tool for the good of human beings - not to diminish them, not to replace them. What is emerging is in fact a significant challenge, one that calls for great attention and foresight in order to project, also in the context of new scenarios, healthy, fair and sound lifestyles, especially for the good of younger generations." SoftBank is pitching plans for a $1 trillion AI and robotics complex in Arizona. That's according to Bloomberg. It says the Japanese investor wants to create a U.S. version of China's vast Shenzhen manufacturing hub. SoftBank reportedly wants to involve chips titan TSMC, but it's not clear if the Taiwan firm is interested. And Goldman Sachs says it's rolling out its AI assistant companywide in a bid to boost productivity. It joins other banks in seeking a boost from the bots. Citigroup is already using AI to do tasks like summarizing documents. And Morgan Stanley has a chatbot to help financial advisers talk to clients.
