Long Beach, California. August 8, 2023 – Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced it has signed a new launch services agreement with a confidential customer for a HASTE (Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron) mission from Launch Complex 2 at Virginia's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport within NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in 2024.

The contract signing with a new customer came just days after Rocket Lab successfully launched the first HASTE mission on 17 June 2023 for Leidos under the Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonic Test Bed (MACH-TB) program. The mission was Rocket Lab's third mission from Launch Complex 2 at Virginia's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport since the Company began launches form U.S. soil in January this year, demonstrating rapid and reliable launch capability for government and commercial programs.
"After delivering mission success with our HASTE launch in June, we're delighted to be selected once again to deliver this crucial capability, enabling our customers to accelerate hypersonic innovation," said Brian Rogers, Senior Director – Global Launch Services. "We're immensely proud to be delivering a vital capability to the nation by increasing the cadence and availability of hypersonic and suborbital flight testing to enable technology maturation."
Rocket Lab's HASTE suborbital launch vehicle is derived from the Company's workhorse Electron rocket – the world's most frequently launched commercial small launch vehicle. Leveraging Electron's deep flight heritage, HASTE offers true commercial testing capability on rapid schedules and at a fraction of the cost of current full-scale tests. Tailored specifically for suborbital and hypersonic test flight capability, HASTE has a modified Kick Stage, a larger payload capacity of up to 700 kg / 1,540 lbs, and options for tailored fairings to accommodate larger payloads...

Rocket Lab to Launch Climate Change Research Mission Focused on Arctic Ice Caps for NASA

Across two Electron launches in 2024, Rocket Lab will deploy NASA's PREFIRE mission to study naturally occurring radiation at the Arctic to better understand its impact on melting glaciers, sea ice, clouds and water, and climate modelling and forecasting.

August 14, 2023

The two dedicated missions on Electron will deploy one small satellite each to a 525km circular orbit from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand from May 2024. The PREFIRE mission has specific LTAN (Local Time of the Ascending Node) requirements and a need for the second satellite to be deployed to space shortly after the first, which is made possible by Electron's unique ability to deploy dedicated small satellite missions on highly responsive timelines. The launches will be the 7th and 8th missions Rocket Lab has launched for NASA since 2018.

NASA's PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment) mission will help close a gap in understanding of how much of Earth's heat is lost to space, especially from the Arctic and Antarctica. Analysis of PREFIRE's measurements will inform climate and ice models, providing better projections of how a warming world will affect sea ice loss, ice sheet melt, and sea level rise. Improving climate models can ultimately help to provide more accurate projections on the impacts of storm severity and frequency, as well as coastal erosion and flooding. PREFIRE consists of two, 6U CubeSats with a baseline mission length of 10 months.

[...]

The PREFIRE mission was awarded to Rocket Lab through NASA's Venture-class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) program, a $300 million dollar five-year contracting vehicle for placing NASA's science and technology payloads on U.S. commercial launchers.

Москва. 19 сентября. INTERFAX.RU - Неудачей закончился во вторник запуск американской ракеты Electron, стартовавшей на орбиту с радиолокационным спутником Acadia компании Capella Space, сообщил разработчик носителя Rocket Lab.
"Директор запуска сообщил об аномалии (во время полета), в результате которой миссия была прекращена", - говорится в сообщении. Техническая проблема возникла после запуска двигателя второй ступени. Спутник, оснащенный оборудованием для получения высококачественных изображений Земли, был потерян.
В рамках миссии под названием We Will Never Desert You запуск двухступенчатой ракеты Electron с разгонным блоком Kick Stage Curie был осуществлен со стартового комплекса LC-1, расположенного на полуострове Махия в Новой Зеландии, в 18:55 по местному времени (в 09:55 мск). Космический аппарат дистанционного зондирования Земли массой 160 кг должен был выйти на орбиту примерно через час после старта ракеты.
Спутник с радаром с синтезированной апертурой (SAR), который планировалось вывести на орбиту высотой 635 км, способен был обеспечивать высокое разрешение снимков до 0,3 метра и максимальную скорость доставки заказа для госучреждений и частных клиентов. Первый такой спутник был выведен на орбиту 24 августа.
Компания Capella Space планирует, что создаваемая группировка из 36 спутников позволит получать изображение любой части планеты с интервалом не более одного часа.
Компания в 2020 году подписала контракт с Пентагоном на предоставление данных бортовых радаров с синтезированной апертурой для ВМС США, а также с Национальным агентством геопространственной разведки (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, NGA) США, в задачи которого входит обеспечение военных, государственных и гражданских пользователей данными видовой разведки.

Rocket Lab Launch Update
^{September 19, 2023 04:49 AM Eastern Daylight Time}
MAHIA, New Zealand--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), today experienced an issue during the launch of the Company's 41st mission. Following lift-off from Launch Complex 1, the rocket successfully completed a first stage burn and stage separation as planned, before an issue was experienced at around T+ 2 minutes and 30 seconds into flight, resulting in the end of the mission.

Спойлер

We are deeply sorry to our partners Capella Space for the loss of the mission.

We are working closely with the FAA and supporting agencies as the investigation into the root cause commences. The Electron rocket has previously delivered 171 satellites to orbit across 37 successful orbital missions. We will identify the issue swiftly and implement corrective actions and return to the pad shortly.

[свернуть]

Our next mission, currently scheduled before the end of the third quarter, will be postponed while we implement corrective actions. We anticipate providing revised third quarter revenue guidance in the coming days.

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 it has signed a launch services agreement to launch an Earth observation satellite for the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) on a rideshare mission in the first half of 2024.
KAIST's NeonSat-1 will be the primary payload on an Electron rideshare mission that will also deploy NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System, or ACS3 satellite. The mission will lift-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.

"2024 is shaping up to be our busiest launch year yet with a fully booked manifest of Electron missions," said Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Peter Beck. "By combining this mission with the launch of NASA's ACS3 spacecraft, we've been able to provide KAIST with a launch opportunity on short notice to help them reach orbit faster. It's a privilege to be working with the KAIST team and we are thrilled to be providing them with timely and affordable launch services on Electron."

Jae-Hung Han, Director General of the Satellite Technology Research Center (SaTReC) at KAIST said:

"We highly anticipate collaborating with Rocket Lab for a successful launch of our first satellite of the NEONSAT microsatellite constellation program."

NeonSat-1 is a high-resolution optical satellite that will be deployed as a technology demonstration for a planned future Earth observation constellation. KAIST is Korea's leading science and technology institution, having developed and operated Korea's very first satellite KAIST when it was successfully launched more than 30 years ago.
In addition to being launched by Electron, KAIST's NeonSat-1 will use Rocket Lab's MLB satellite separation system in the Company's latest demonstration of its vertically integrated space systems strategy.
