Government regulations and the sky aren't the limit for Rocket Lab, with the rocket launch cap multiplied by 10 to 1000.
A review of space-launch-debris-regulations judged the environmental risk to be low.
New Zealand comes third in the world - for frequency of orbital rocket launches.
Rocket Lab's vice-president of communications, Morgan Connaughton says this bump is needed.
She says Rocket Lab's already reached 81 launches.
"Back when Rocket Lab started launching, 100 seemed like a fantasy. And then here we are, not all that much longer later, and our team is planning celebrations for the 100th launch already."
