Rocket Lab has just introduced Return On Investment — a 400-foot ocean platform designed for at-sea landings of its reusable Neutron rocket. 🚀Repurposed from a barge, the platform will feature autonomous ground systems, blast shielding, and station-keeping thrusters to support precise, safe rocket recovery.
This is yet another real-world application of floating infrastructure, demonstrating how the maritime domain can support cutting-edge space operations. It’s an inspiring example of how floating solutions are being adapted across industries — from energy to urban living, and now space tech.
The Neutron rocket is set to debut later this year with landings on the new platform expected from 2026.
