Neutron AFRL REGAL Rocket Cargo

Rocket Lab will launch its Neutron rocket for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory on a Rocket Cargo mission under AFRL's Rocket Experimentation for Global Agile Logistics (REGAL) effort. Neutron will carry an AFRL survivability experiment that will re-enter Earth's atmosphere to demonstrate re-entry capability for future REGAL missions. The program aims to develop a commercial rocket-based system that can rapidly deliver cargo anywhere in the world.

A Rocket Lab Neutron rocket will launch the AFRL REGAL Rocket Cargo mission in 2028.
