'Happily Ever Faster' to orbit 🌌✨ Today we launched our 95th Electron at 3:28 pm NZST and deployed a single Earth observation satellite to a 500km LEO for a confidential customer - our 16th mission of the year with 100% mission success.

Rocket Lab@RocketLab

Rocket Lab has been the sole launch provider for @synspective since 2020, with our 11th Electron mission for them successfully launching last week. Flying dedicated gives constellation operators like Synspective control over launch schedule, launch site, and orbit, enabling them to deploy their constellation exactly how they want to without compromise. We're booked to fly 16 more missions for Synspective to deploy the rest of their constellation, so we're still just warming up! (and we're gonna need more owl themed mission names 🦉)

From Long Beach to orbit! Built and tested for @MDA_space at Rocket Lab’s headquarters, our advanced satellite platforms are supporting @Globalstar’s direct-to-device communications services and IoT applications. This image was captured from one of our Lightning platforms shortly after it started its new life in orbit.
