Track; not yet
- Why
- GHOST is real and backed by flight-proven Electron (83+ missions) and HASTE (9 flights) vehicles, but the deployable-spaceport concept itself has zero flight heritage, no published cost or footprint specs, and Rocket Lab's own Neutron program shows the company's ambitious hardware timelines can slip years past target.
- Next
- Re-evaluate at GHOST's planned 2027 suborbital debut from Kodiak, Alaska (Launch Complex 4), or when Rocket Lab publishes cost/footprint/activation-time specs.
