LOX fueling has begun for Electron's next launch in just under T-2 hours. Weather is 80% favorable, the range is clear, and preparations remain on track for the launch window opening at 1:00 am NZST.

🚀 Join us LIVE for Electron’s 93rd mission and 9th launch for QPS_inc, “The Lightning God Defends” https://t.co/64912Qmw2s

LIFTOFF! Electron has launched for the 93rd time🚀

Our 93rd Electron rocket on its way to space for QPS Inc.

Pre-flight testing with Hungry Hippo is underway 🦛 We're opening and closing the Hippo's two permanently attached fairing halves under flight-like conditions to simulate how they'll perform for Stage 2 deployment and Neutron's return to Earth.

After testing, Hippo will return to its hangar and wait to be attached with Neutron's interstage when it arrives in Virginia.

Next up on Electron will be our latest dedicated mission to deliver another StriX Earth-imaging satellite to LEO for synspective.

LIFTOFF! Electron has launched for the 94th time🚀

Liftoff for Electron for the 94th time.

Today's 'Owl Around The World' mission for synspective by the numbers:
🎯15th launch of the year with 100% mission success
🛰️11th StriX satellite deployed by Electron
🚀16 more missions for synspective before 2030

We’ve successfully passed our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the 18 satellites we're building for SemperCitiusSDA's Tracking Layer Tranche 3 (TRKT3) constellation. A big step forward in delivering advanced missile warning & defense capabilities for the U.S. and its allies.

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 🦉)

For the last three decades, conventional, multi-junction solar cells have largely relied on germanium wafers.

Today, Rocket Lab announced the production release of IMM Apex, our germanium-free new high-efficiency solar cell to reduce reliance on the supply-constrained critical metals.
