纽森访Long Beach「太空海滩」参观Rocket Lab 加州航天企业占全美三分之一
Long Beach——加州州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）10月15日到访Long Beach「太空海滩」（Space Beach），参观火箭实验室（Rocket Lab）。该公司2006年创立于新西兰，2013年在洛杉矶设立美国业务，2020年将总部迁至Long Beach；其「电子号」（Electron）火箭已发射90多次，是全美发射次数第二多的火箭；可重复使用的「中子号」（Neutron）火箭预计2027年首飞。Rocket Lab 2019年获得500万美元的CalCompetes税收抵免，承诺创造147个全职岗位，并在Long Beach与Huntington Beach投资2,500万美元。
州长办公室公布的数据显示，全美三分之一的航天科技公司位于加州，加州约占全美航天科技专利的40%，航天制造业岗位超过96,000个；500多家公司与16,000名员工参与美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的「阿尔忒弥斯」计划。NASA每年在加州的科学经费约30亿美元，为全美最多，占其研发经费的28%；采购额58亿美元，占25%；相关经济产出达186亿美元。
纽森的「加州就业第一」蓝图将航天与国防列为「加速」产业，该产业每年为加州国内生产总值贡献约350亿美元。州政府2025年8月向2个航天项目投入1,695万美元，2026年8月再向7个项目投入1,900万美元，分布于科恩县、南边境与湾区。纽森表示，加州正在巩固其作为全球航天创新中心的地位。
Newsom Tours Rocket Lab at Long Beach 'Space Beach'; a Third of U.S. Space Tech Firms Are in California
LONG BEACH — Governor Gavin Newsom visited Long Beach's 'Space Beach' on October 15 for a tour of Rocket Lab. Founded in New Zealand in 2006, the company set up U.S. operations in Los Angeles in 2013 and moved its headquarters to Long Beach in 2020. Its Electron rocket has flown more than 90 times, the second-most launches of any U.S. rocket, and its reusable Neutron rocket is expected to debut in 2027. Rocket Lab received a $5 million CalCompetes tax credit in 2019, committing to 147 full-time jobs and $25 million of investment in Long Beach and Huntington Beach.
According to the governor's office, one-third of U.S. space technology companies are in California, which accounts for about 40% of U.S. space technology patents and more than 96,000 aerospace manufacturing jobs; more than 500 companies and 16,000 employees take part in NASA's Artemis program. NASA spends about $3 billion a year on science in California — the most of any state, 28% of its R&D budget — along with $5.8 billion in procurement (25%) and $18.6 billion in economic output.
Newsom's California Jobs First blueprint lists aerospace and defense as an 'accelerate' industry contributing about $35 billion a year to state GDP. The state invested $16.95 million in two space projects in August 2025 and another $19 million in seven projects in August 2026 across Kern County, the southern border region and the Bay Area. Newsom said California is cementing its position as a global hub of space innovation.
