Rocket Lab Corp. Chief Executive Officer Peter Beck raised the prospect of a delay for the long-awaited Neutron rocket, saying “every single thing needs to go to plan” to meet its year-end target.

One of the most prolific US rocket companies, Rocket Lab is developing Neutron to compete with SpaceX’s dominant Falcon 9 for a lucrative slice of the launch market.
