description: "$Rocket Lab(RKLB.US) France 🇫🇷 has chosen Rocket Lab to launch its Mach 12 hypersonic spaceplane. $Rocket Lab(RKLB.US) will power defense, hypersonic testing, and space race advantages. The project is led by Dassault Aviation in collaboration with the French Ministry of Armed Forces and the European Space Agency (ESA), with a total budget of approximately 70 million euros (over 50% of which is self-funded by Dassault). The goal is to validate key technologies by 2027, including suborbital flight at Mach 12. Inspired by the "New Space" approach, the project is compared to Chinese systems and the U.S. X-37B, with plans to use Rocket Lab's Electron micro-launcher to test hypersonic guidance, thermal protection, and maneuverability. The project was publicly discussed at the French National Assembly's Defense Committee meeting on July 11, 2025, and a support agreement was signed.The above information has been verified as true."
