Rocket Lab

From Albuquerque to the Moon 🌑 Rocket Lab solar cells are powering Orion, enabling humans to travel farther into space than ever before.

Proud to be supporting Orion and @NASA's Artemis II mission with Rocket Lab solar cells. Powering humanity’s return to the Moon 🌞🌑

Moon, here we come! 🌑 Congratulations to @NASA and all the mission teams supporting Artemis II. A monumental day for the future of space exploration.

Rideshare is great for some. Not for others. A dedicated launch on Electron gives small sat customers control over schedule, orbit, launch site, and payload processing. Plus, when you fly dedicated on Electron you get to name the mission 😉

Laser communications are a critical enabler for the constellations of today and tomorrow, and we plan to make them available at scale. We look forward to joining forces with the Mynaric team to make optical terminals available at the volume and pace that commercial and government satellite customers demand across Europe and our existing markets.

Rocket Lab has received regulatory approval to acquire Mynaric ✅ The transaction has been approved by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. As a result we expect the transaction to close in April.

Electron delivers 'The Daughter Of The Stars' to orbit for the European Space Agency @esa. ✅ 85th Electron launch and 6th mission of the year. ✅ 2nd launch in 5 days from Launch Complex 1. ✅ Another flawless launch with 100% mission success by Electron.

MISSION SUCCESS 🚀 Payload deployment confirmed for our 85th Electron launch. Welcome to orbit, @esa. 'The Daughter Of The Stars' is home.

🚀 Liftoff! #Celeste satellites are on their way to low Earth orbit for their demonstration mission. @RocketLab | @Thales_Alenia_S | @infoGMV

@esa Nominal second engine cut off as planned + nominal transfer orbit achieved. Electron is set to deploy @esa's IOD-1 & IOD-2 satellites in ~45 minutes.

LIFTOFF! Electron is on the way to space for @esa

We're LIVE with the webcast for our 85th launch: The 'Daughter Of The Stars' mission for the European Space Agency @esa twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

LOx fill is underway at Launch Complex 1 for our 'Daughter Of The Stars" mission for @esa. T-0 is set for: 🚀 10:14 pm NZT 🚀 10:14 am CET 🚀 09:14 UTC 🚀 5:14 am ET 🚀 2:14 am PT

Electron is the world's most frequently launched small-lift orbital rocket, with tonight's launch for the European Space Agency @esa continuing that legacy of providing regular and reliable launch for our global mission partners. 🌏 85th mission overall 🚀6th launch in three months 🛰️#1 small sat launcher

Electron is vertical on the pad at Launch Complex 1. Preparations are going smoothly for the 'Daughter Of The Stars' mission for the European Space Agency @esa. T-4 hours to liftoff.

Mission details for today's launch: 🚀Mission Name: 'Daughter Of The Stars' 🎯 Customer: European Space Agency 🛰️ Payload: 2x satnav tech demonstration satellites, IOD-1 & IOD-2 🌏 Orbit: 510km LEO 📍 Launch Site: LC-1, Pad A

Ready for launch! The countdown is on for Electron's dedicated mission for the European Space Agency @esa to deploy their first two Celeste satellites for a new LEO-PNT European satnav network. Target lift-off March 28: 🚀 10:14 pm NZT 🚀 10:14 am CET 🚀 09:14 UTC 🚀 5:14 am ET 🚀 2:14 am PT

Current weather conditions over LC-1 violate cloud and lightning commit criteria for launch, so we’re standing down from today’s Electron mission for @esa. A weather system is passing through the region in the coming days, so our next target launch date will be set once that passes. Back soon under clearer skies.

A dedicated launch means a mission tailored to exactly what the satellite operator needs. We're proud to be launching our 85th mission and first launch for the European Space Agency @esa with a precise and tailored ride to orbit for their new constellation. Electron is ready 🌍 🚀

For the 85th time, Electron is vertical on the pad and ready for launch - but this time with its first dedicated mission for the European Space Agency @esa. T-4 hours to liftoff for 'Daughter Of The Stars'.
