Rocket Lab achieved a milestone by launching two Electron rockets within 24 hours on November 24, marking the fastest turnaround in the company's history. The first launch, a suborbital mission for hypersonic testing, took place from Virginia, while the second successfully deployed five satellites for Kinéis from New Zealand. With these launches, Rocket Lab has completed 14 Electron missions this year, maintaining a revised target of 15 to 18 launches for 2023.
Rocket Lab has secured its first customer for the Neutron launch vehicle, with two launches scheduled for mid-2026 and 2027. The company aims for a test launch in 2025, gradually increasing to seven launches annually, while also preparing for its own satellite constellation. The next Electron launch is set for November 23, carrying satellites for Kinéis, as Rocket Lab adjusts its annual launch target to 15-18.

Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
