September 16, 2022 – TheNewswire - Rocket Lab USA (RKLB), a leading launch and space systems company, has announced the delivery of its 30th mission and 150th satellite to orbit following the latest successful Electron launch earlier this week.
“The Owl Spreads Its Wings”, a dedicated mission for Japanese Earth-observation company Synspective, was launched on the Electron rocket from Pad B at the Rocket Lab Launch Complex in mid-September. The mission successfully deployed a single spacecraft, the StriX-1 satellite, to a 563km circular Earth orbit, where it will join other StriX satellites launched by Rocket Lab in February 2022 and December 2020 and as part of Synspective’s Earth-observation satellite constellation.
Earlier in September Rocket Lab also successfully test fired a reused Rutherford first stage engine for the first time. The company says that this was a significant technical achievement as Rocket Lab develops Electron into the world’s first reusable orbital small rocket.
Rocket Lab says that its remaining 2022 manifest includes another attempt at recovering an Electron rocket with a helicopter and the first Electron mission from Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 2 in Wallops Island, Virginia.
Founded in 2006, Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company with an established track record of mission success. Since its first orbital launch in January 2018, Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle has become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered 150 satellites to orbit.
