Mission Details
VICTUS HAZE
VICTUS HAZE will see Rocket Lab design, build, launch, and operate a rendezvous proximity operation (RPO) capable spacecraft. SSC's Space Safari's VICTUS HAZE mission will be an exercise of a realistic threat-response scenario and on-orbit space domain awareness (SDA) demonstration. Once the spacecraft build is complete, Rocket Lab will be entered into a Hot Standby Phase awaiting further direction. Once the exercise begins, Rocket Lab will be given notice to launch the spacecraft into a target orbit. After reaching orbit, the spacecraft will be rapidly commissioned and readied for operations. Rocket Lab will configure a Pioneer class spacecraft bus to meet the unique requirements of the VICTUS HAZE mission.
The mission will improve Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) processes and timelines, demonstrating the ability to respond to on-orbit threats on very short timelines and validating techniques for space domain awareness (SDA) and on-orbit characterization. Rocket Lab's constellation-class production capability and discriminating technical capabilities in the areas of in-space propulsion, precision attitude control, low latency communications, and autonomous operations are key enablers for this mission.

ЦитироватьRocket Lab Clears Integration Milestone for VICTUS HAZE, Delivering End-to-End Capabilities for Responsive Space Operations
Long Beach, Calif. August 6, 2025 – Rocket Lab National Security LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket Lab USA (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced the successful completion of their Systems Integration Review (SIR) for the U.S. Space Force's (USSF) VICTUS HAZE mission, part of Space Systems Command's (SSC) Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) program, led by Space Safari, in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).
The SIR was completed in May and marked a critical program milestone, confirming that all spacecraft components, systems, and software were ready for final integration and testing. The milestone followed Rocket Lab's successful Critical Design Review earlier in the year, which validated the mission design and cleared the way for production. Following the SIR, Rocket Lab completed spacecraft integration, and the vehicle is now entering final testing just 15 months after contract award, underscoring Rocket Lab's speed and efficiency.
Rocket Lab is the only provider delivering a complete, end-to-end mission solution to Space Safari. This includes satellite design, component manufacturing, satellite integration and testing, flight and ground software, mission and launch licensing, launch, commissioning, and on-orbit operations. Rocket Lab owns the entire mission lifecycle, simplifying program execution, reducing cost and schedule risk, and enabling rapid, responsive delivery.
"VICTUS HAZE is about more than responsive launch, it's about ensuring the U.S. can act at the speed of need in a contested space domain," said Brad Clevenger, President of Rocket Lab National Security. "With Rocket Lab's flight-proven systems and fully integrated mission capability, we're uniquely positioned to deliver the agility, speed, and reliability that national security demands."

VICTUS HAZE will be a proving ground for how Rocket Lab can rapidly build, deploy, and operate spacecraft in response to emergent U.S. national security needs. The mission will demonstrate the ability to launch and conduct rendezvous and proximity operations on tactically relevant timelines, showcasing what's possible when commercial innovation is applied to national defense priorities.
By leveraging commercial partners like Rocket Lab, the program supports broader USSF goals accelerating the transition from demonstration of responsive space concepts to fully operational national security capabilities.
Rocket Lab will complete final environmental testing and readiness milestones in the coming months.

Цитата: машпереводRocket Lab National Security LLC, дочерняя компания Rocket Lab USA (Nasdaq: RKLB) ( «Rocket Lab» или «Компания»), мирового лидера в области пусковых услуг и космических систем, сегодня объявила об успешном завершении обзора системной интеграции (SIR) для миссии VICTUS HAZE Космических сил США (USSF), которая является частью программы тактического реагирования в космосе (TacRS) Командования космических систем (SSC), возглавляемой Space Safari в партнерстве с Отделом оборонных инноваций (DIU).
Испытание SIR было завершено в мае и стало важнейшей вехой программы, подтвердившей готовность всех компонентов, систем и программного обеспечения космического аппарата к окончательной интеграции и испытаниям. Этому событию предшествовало успешное прохождение Rocket Lab критического анализа конструкции в начале года, который подтвердил проект миссии и открыл путь к производству. После испытания SIR Rocket Lab завершила интеграцию космического аппарата, и теперь , всего через 15 месяцев после заключения контракта , аппарат выходит на этап финальных испытаний , что подчеркивает скорость и эффективность работы Rocket Lab...
