I-SpaceX's Rival enkulu iya esidlangalaleni nge-SPAC, isebenzisa iCash ukwakha iRocket enkulu

Kude kube ngoku, icandelo lesithuba labucala lihleli ikakhulu labucala, ngenxa yezizathu ezicacileyo.

Uninzi lwabantu abaqhuba iinkampani zesithuba ngoozigidigidi, umphathi we-satellite osungula i-Rocket Lab's CEO u-Peter Beck kutsha nje uxelele i-Braganca. Ukuba unokufikelela kolo hlobo lwenkunzi, loo nto ayisiyiyo imfuneko yokufumana imali kwiimarike zikawonke-wonke.

Oko malunga notshintsho, njengoko u-Beck, ozibhengeze yedwa engenguye u-billionaire kwicandelo lesithuba othe wayengenamdla kwi-IPO, egqiba kwelokuba athathe inkampani yakhe esidlangalaleni. Nge-SPAC, ewe.

I-Rocket Lab ibhengeze uMvulo ukuba ivumile ukudibana ne-Vector Acquisition yokufumana iinjongo ezizodwa kwisivumelwano sokuxabisa ukuqala kwesithuba kwi-4.1 yezigidigidi zeedola. Emva kokuvalwa kwesivumelwano, kulindeleke kwikota yesibini, iRocket Rock iya kudwelisa kwiNasdaq phantsi kweticker RKLB.

Njengenxalenye yokudityaniswa, iRocket Rock izakufumana malunga ne-750 yezigidi zeedola kwimali entsha, kubandakanya i-320 yezigidi zeedola kwiVector Acquisition kunye ne- $ 470 yezigidi Umbhobho (utyalomali lwabucala kubulungisa kuluntu) inkxaso-mali evela kwiVector Capital, BlackRock, Neuberger Berman nakwabanye abatyali mali bamaziko kwi- $ 10 ngesabelo ngasinye. Umphathi weVector u-Alex Slusky uzokujoyina ibhodi yenkampani edityanisiweyo, kwaye u-Beck uya kuhlala eyi-CEO.

I-Rocket Lab ikwindawo efanelekileyo ukuba iqhubeke nokubamba isabelo sentengiso kulwakhiwo olukhawulezayo lwendawo, iinkqubo kunye neemarike zesicelo, utshilo uSlusky kwingxelo yangoMvulo. IVector iyakuvuyela ukusebenzisana neRocket Rock njengoko ifuna ukwenza imali kwinkcitho yorhwebo kunye norhulumente engazange ibonwe ngaphambili kuqoqosho lwendawo ekhulayo.

I-Rocket Lab iyila kwaye ivelise irokethi encinci ebizwa ngokuba yi-Electron enokuhambisa ukuya kuthi ga kwiikhilogram ezingama-300 (661 iipawundi) zemithwalo yemirhumo kwi-orbit ephantsi yoMhlaba. Ukusukela kunyaka ophelileyo, inkampani iye yavavanya indlela yokubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo ukwenza ukuba inyuse isigaba sokuqala se-Electron, indlela eyavulwa yi-SpaceX.

Ngenkxaso-mali entsha, iRocket Rock icwangcisa ukwakha irokethi enkulu ebizwa ngokuba yiNeutron, eya kuthi isetyenziselwe ukuhambisa iisathelayithi zeenkqantosi ezinkulu ze-mega, imishini enzulu yesithuba kunye nokubhabha esibhakabhakeni kwabantu. I-Neutron iya kuma kwi-131 yeenyawo ubude, malunga nesibini kwisithathu sobukhulu be-SpaceX Falcon 9, kwaye iyakwazi ukuthwala ukuya kuthi ga kwiitoni ezisibhozo zemirhumo, inkampani ithe.

Eli nyathelo libalulekileyo likhawulezisa ukubanakho kweRocket yeLebhu ukuvula amandla apheleleyo esithuba ngokusungula kunye namaqonga eenqwelomoya kunye nokunyusa umnqweno wethu wokudala ishishini elitsha leebhiliyoni zeedola kwizicelo zesithuba, utshilo u-Beck kwisibhengezo sangoMvulo.

I-Rocket Lab kuphela kwenkampani yabucala kwindawo yentengiso ngaphandle kwe-SpaceX eneshishini elisebenzayo lokumiliselwa kwesathelayithi. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, inkampani isungule isathelayithi ezingama-97 kwimishini eyi-18 ye-Electron, ukuqala nge-7 yezigidi zeedola. Ukuqaliswa kweshishini kuzise i-48 yezigidi zeedola kwi-2019 kunye ne-33 yezigidi zeedola kunyaka ophelileyo. Ukulindela umthamo we-mission ukuba uphinde u-2021 kwaye uqhubeke nokukhula kule minyaka izayo, i-Rocket Lab ijolise ekubeni yinzuzo ngo-2023 kwaye ifikelele kwi-1 yezigidigidi kwingeniso ngo-2026.
