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.

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

This time last week Electron was lifting off the Launch Complex 2 pad at NASA_Wallops in Virginia. Just 7 days later, another Electron is on the pad awaiting lift-off today at Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. Picking up the pace in 2023 and delivering responsive access to orbit! https://t.co/3t9VZ8aMjK
Weather dependent, our recovery team is going rocket fishing tonight 🎣
After launch, Electron's first stage will travel back to Earth under a parachute for a soft splashdown and collection by our recovery vessel 🚀🪂🌊⛴️ https://t.co/J4AU6XB6xP

Hurricanes and tropical storms have a devastating effect on lives and livelihoods, so we’re immensely proud to be entrusted by NASA to launch the TROPICS missions, enabling scientists to accurately predict storm strength and give people time to evacuate and make plans.
