To prepare for the harsh space environment, this Rocket Lab-designed and built spacecraft for VardaSpace is undergoing a gauntlet of tests at our Long Beach HQ. Looking good after a week in the vacuum chamber ✨ https://t.co/urEan2aGse

It's launch week! Excited to be teaming up with Virginia_Space for another LC-2 mission.

While Electron waits on the pad at LC-2 in Virginia for launch this weekend, the LC-1 team in New Zealand completed payload encapsulation for BlackSky_Inc and SpaceflightInc. We love a busy launch schedule! https://t.co/kJILtQJnq1

It's looking like a beautiful day to launch a rocket.

We’re grateful to have fantastic range partners at Launch Complex 2 in Virginia_Space and NASA_Wallops. Launching Electron from Virginia is a team effort and we're excited for the new era of regular and responsive small launch from the Eastern Shore. https://t.co/bCr657X9ax

We have a new lift-off time for today's launch from LC-2.

T-1 hour to launch for #StrongerTogether.

While today’s launch for capellaspace is the first of many missions this year, in Aug 2020 we launched not only Capella’s first publicly available imaging sat – but also our very first Photon spacecraft. https://t.co/FSfT9hS8D0

High voltage battery discharge is nominal as we approach our next mission milestone, battery hotswap.

Thank you, next 🚀

With the 'Stronger Together' mission now successfully launched from LC-2, we're moving onto the next mission - a dedicated launch from BlackSky_Inc from LC-1. Lift-off is scheduled no earlier than March 22 UTC. https://t.co/olXThrAFIr https://t.co/TQVR4bVjxH

So how do we launch a rocket to space, bring it back to Earth under a parachute, splash it down in the ocean, and then pick it up with a boat to return it to our rocket factory? Pretty much like this.

Our next marine recovery mission launches March 22nd, weather dependent 🌧️🌬️☀️ https://t.co/VA5XFHGxTS

How do Rutherford engines cope with a dip in the ocean? Remarkably well.

This engine was plucked from the water in one of our marine recovery missions and it performed flawlessly in a full duration hot fire. https://t.co/OdSB4xREGv https://t.co/HV7QuBtVty

What a view! Great to see capellaspace's satellites settling into orbit nicely just a few days after their ride to space on Electron. #StrongerTogether

Electron is ready. BlackSky_Inc’s satellites are ready. Now the weather just needs to play ball!

We’re now targeting March 24 UTC for the launch of ‘The Beat Goes On’ from Launch Complex 1.

We might have started with rockets, but today we also develop satellites and subsystems that enable some of the most ambitious missions in space. You could help us build them: https://t.co/AnQeCHs3Ji
