What's Going On With Rocket Lab & ViaSat Shares Today?
Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:RKLB) shares are trading higher on Thursday.
美国火箭实验室公司（纳斯达克股票代码：RKLB）股价周四上涨。
Today, the company was selected by ViaSat, Inc. (NASDAQ:VSAT) to support its hybrid space communications networks demonstrations by producing a spacecraft bus and providing mission operation support.
今天，该公司被ViaSat, Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：VSAT）选中，通过生产航天器总线和提供任务运营支持来支持其混合太空通信网络的演示。
The demonstrations will showcase ViaSat's array of multi-band, space-based relay communication services for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions. These services offer enhanced data management, reduced latency, and increased real-time throughput.
演示将展示ViaSat为低地球轨道（LEO）任务提供的一系列多频段、天基中继通信服务。这些服务增强了数据管理，减少了延迟，提高了实时吞吐量。
The demonstrations are part of ViaSat's work across two awards, totaling $80 million, under NASA's Communications Services Project (CSP).
这些演示是ViaSat在美国宇航局通信服务项目（CSP）下获得的两个奖项的一部分，总额为8000万美元。
The Rocket Lab spacecraft will provide the power, communications, propulsion, and attitude control for the mission demonstration.
火箭实验室航天器将为任务演示提供动力、通信、推进和姿态控制。
Rocket Lab will incorporate its own satellite components and sub-systems into the spacecraft, including star trackers, reaction wheels, solar panels, S-band radios, flight software, and ground software, and the new L-band radio in development for the future InCommand service.
火箭实验室将把自己的卫星组件和子系统整合到航天器中，包括星际追踪器、反作用轮、太阳能电池板、S波段无线电、飞行软件和地面软件，以及为未来InCommand服务开发的新L波段无线电。
Rocket Lab Vice President of Space Systems, Brad Clevenger, said, "By providing a configurable platform that can be tailored to suit even the most complex missions, our customers can focus on their own novel hardware and services and leave the development and operation of the spacecraft to us."
火箭实验室太空系统副总裁布拉德·克莱文格说：“通过提供可配置的平台，即使是最复杂的任务也可以量身定制，我们的客户可以专注于自己的新型硬件和服务，将航天器的开发和运营留给我们。”
Scheduled to launch in early 2026, the demonstration mission will also include direct-to-ground communications through Viasat's Real-Time Earth (RTE) Ground-Station-as-a-Service for S-, X-, and Ka-bands.
该演示任务计划于2026年初发射，还将包括通过Viasat的实时地球（RTE）地面站即服务进行针对S、X和Ka波段的直接对地通信。
"We are proud to support NASA with this critically needed real-time space relay communications capability and excited about our continuing partnership with Rocket Lab to support ViaSat's growing space missions portfolio," said Michael Maughan, Vice President of Space and Mission Systems, ViaSat Government Systems.
ViaSat政府系统太空和任务系统副总裁迈克尔·莫恩表示：“我们很自豪能够为NASA提供这种急需的实时太空中继通信能力支持，并对我们与火箭实验室继续合作以支持ViaSat不断增长的太空任务组合感到兴奋。”
