ЦитироватьRocket Lab to Launch Responsive Space Missions for National Reconnaissance Office
LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Lab USA, Inc (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a leading launch and space systems company, today announced its next two launches will be responsive space missions for the United States Government's National Reconnaissance Office.
Launching from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 on two Electron rockets, Rocket Lab is scheduled to deploy satellites to space for the NRO within only 10 days of each other. NROL-162 ("Wise One Looks Ahead") will launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1's Pad A no earlier than July 12, with NROL-199 ("Antipodean Adventure") scheduled to launch from Pad B no earlier than July 22.
The NROL-162 and NROL-199 missions will carry national security payloads designed, built, and operated by the National Reconnaissance Office in partnership with the Australian Department of Defence as part of a broad range of cooperative satellite activities with Australia. The satellites will support the NRO to provide critical information to government agencies and decision makers monitoring international issues.
These twin missions will be a demonstration of responsive launch under NRO's Rapid Acquisition of a Small Rocket (RASR) contract for launching small satellite through a streamlined, commercial approach, and are the third and fourth missions contracted to Rocket Lab by the NRO under the contract. NROL-151 (RASR-1) was successfully deployed to space on a dedicated Electron launch in early 2020, followed by RASR-2 on another Electron launch in June 2020.
Rocket Lab CEO and founder, Peter Beck, says: "Space plays such a critical role in providing immediate insights and informing time-sensitive decisions, so a responsive, modern approach accessing orbit is crucial. This is what we've established with Electron and multiple launch sites – reliable rockets and multiple pads at the ready to support the national security community's responsive space needs. Our quick turnaround for these two national security missions will be just the latest demonstration of our responsive space capability, and we're honored to be a trusted mission partner to the NRO once again for these important RASR missions."

Yesterday we asked what the animal on the #NROL199 (https://twitter.com/hashtag/NROL199?src=hashtag_click) patch is. It's the dingo! Built for speed, agility, and stamina, the dingo is symbolic of the payload to be launched on NROL-199.

ЦитироватьМОСКВА, 21 июля. /ТАСС/. Спутник связи может быть запущен на ракете-носителе "Протон-М" вместо миссии "ЭкзоМарс", которую планировалось отправить к Красной планете в сентябре. Об этом сообщил ТАСС источник в ракетно-космической отрасли.
"Ракета "Протон" будет использована под пуск спутника связи", - сказал собеседник агентства, не уточнив, о каком конкретно аппарате идет речь.
По словам источника, ракета уже находится на Байконуре...
Команда @NatReconOfc подтвердила, что NROL-199 готов к запуску, так что пора отправляться в космос! Старт миссии Antipodean Adventure запланирован на 2 августа.

Ракета-носитель Electron стартует с площадки LC-1 Pad B на полуострове Махия в Новой Зеландии. Для запуска компания использует ракету в многоразовой конфигурации, однако спасение первой ступени вертолётом - не планируется.

Rocket Lab confirms the Electron's second stage placed the kick stage and the NRO's classified payload into the planned transfer orbit. The kick stage was confirmed to have separated from the Electron second stage.
The kick stage's Curie engine will ignite in about 45 minutes to place the NRO payload into the targeted orbit for deployment. Separation of the NRO payload from the kick stage is scheduled at about T+plus 1 hour.
