On February 19, 2023, Club members gathered at Urban Winery in Silver Spring and were treated with a tour of their neighbor, Rocket Lab’s Separation Systems facility. Rocket Lab was founded in New Zealand and headquartered in Long Beach, California with manufacturing and launch operations in Maryland and Virginia. Mike Whelan, VP of Separation Systems (and Tesla owner!) provided attendees with some company history and showed off the impressive design and manufacturing facility tucked away in suburban Montgomery County, MD.
