Vector Acquisition Corp III

Vector Acquisition Corp III, sponsored by Vector Capital, a technology-focused private equity firm, completed its SPAC initial public offering in 2020 with a focus on the aerospace and space technology sector. The blank-check company pursued a business combination with Rocket Lab USA, a commercial launch services provider and spacecraft manufacturer, filing an S-1/A registration statement amendment with the SEC on April 30, 2021. The de-SPAC transaction closed in 2021, with the combined company trading on Nasdaq under the ticker RKLB. The deal marked one of the earliest high-profile space-sector SPAC mergers of that cycle.
