Another multi-launch deal for Electron 🚀🚀🚀 We've added 3x new launches to the manifest for iQPS to deploy their QPS-SAR satellites to space, bringing the total number of missions to 15 and continuing Electron's role of primary launcher for their constellation.
Our next launch for iQPS is NET May.
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 😉

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.
MISSION SUCCESS 🚀
Payload deployment confirmed for our 85th Electron launch. Welcome to orbit, @esa.int. 'The Daughter Of The Stars' is home.
Electron is the world's most frequently launched small-lift orbital rocket, with tonight's launch for @esa.int 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.int. 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.int 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

Weather conditions over LC-1 violate cloud and lightning commit criteria for launch, so we’re standing down from today’s mission.
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.int 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.int.
T-4 hours to liftoff for 'Daughter Of The Stars'.
T-5 hours to launch. Operators are on console and launch pad readiness checks are complete.
