The State of Launch 2026
SpaceX handles roughly 60% of global commercial launches by mass; Rocket Lab, the only other US provider demonstrating comparable launch cadence and reliability per CEO Peter Beck, reported a backlog exceeding $2.2 billion (up 108% YoY) in Q1 2026 and priced its new Neutron rocket at $50-55 million per flight, directly undercutting Falcon 9's roughly $74 million baseline.
