ЦитироватьRocket Lab Sets Launch Date for 50th Electron Mission, Prepares to Deploy Five Satellites for Kinéis
LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced the launch window for the Company's 50th Electron launch. The mission will deploy five Internet-of-Things (IoT) satellites for French company Kinéis.
The 'No Time Toulouse' mission is scheduled to launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand during a 14-day launch window that opens on June 19th, 2024, NZST.
The mission is the first of five dedicated Electron launches for Kinéis, a company backed by private and public investors including the French government's space agency CNES (Centre National d'Études Spatiales) and CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites) an international space-based solutions provider, to improve global IoT connectivity. Kinéis' new constellation will connect any object anywhere in the world and guarantee the transmission of targeted and useful data to users, in near-real time, with low energy consumption with more powerful 30kg-class nanosats that integrate IoT technology. The constellation also includes a second mission: a ship-tracking Automatic Identification System (AIS). Once deployed, these technologies will allow Kinéis to expand across multiple industries and scale from 20,000 devices connected to millions.

Look at those incredible images: the first 5 satellites of our constellation are meticulously encapsulated into the upper stage of the rocket.
Congratulations to the Kinéis and @hemeria1 teams in New Zealand that conducted the final checks during those last miles.

Teams are on console, Electron is vertical, and the final pre-launch dress rehearsal is underway for the 'No Time Toulouse' mission.
While the rocket and payloads are ready to go to space, the weather might not play ball on our planned lift-off date on June 19th NZT
Stay tuned for updates in the next couple of days once the forecast firms up

MISSION SUCCESS for our 50th Electron launch! Welcome to orbit,
@KineisIoT.
Congratulations to the entire Rocket Lab team on reaching 50 launches faster than any other commercially developed rocket. Thank you to the many customers who have flown on Electron and helped us revolutionize access to orbit for small satellites.
Миссия успешна.

Заслуженно радуются.
ЦитироватьElectron теперь занимает 3-е место по количеству запусков в этом году среди всех орбитальных ракет мира (после Falcon 9 и Long March 2).
Восемь запусков Electron против семи российских "Союзов". Бурный повод для радости.
Цитата: Брабонт от 21.06.2024 00:29:00Восемь запусков Electron против семи российских "Союзов".
И 9-ти Чанчжэн-2.
Это, конечно, что называется, "ноздря в ноздрю", но для маленькой частной компании со сравнительно недавно начавшим летать изделием - вполне повод на фоне государственных монстров с носителями, с прошлого века "стоящими на конвейере".
Всегда нет повода не выпить.
интересно, а что с индексацией запуска?
судя по всему этот у Келсо числится как 2024-114. (https://celestrak.org/satcat/table-satcat.php?INTDES=2024-114&PAYLOAD=1&MAX=500)
