Fun fact, tonights Electron launch will be the first to launch from LC-1A in over 2 years! Rocket Lab last flew from Pad A back in July 2022 during the NROL-162 mission, and since then the pad has undergone maintenance and recieved upgrades!

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 Company has been selected by NASA to complete a study for retrieving rock samples from the Martian surface and bringing them to Earth for the first time. The mission would fulfill some of the highest priority solar system exploration goals for the science community – to revolutionize humanity's understanding of Mars, potentially answer whether life ever existed on the Martian surface, and help prepare for the first human explorers to the Red Planet.
NASA's Rapid Mission Design Studies for Mars Sample Return solicits industry proposals to carry out rapid studies of mission designs and mission elements capable of delivering samples collected by the Mars Perseverance rover from the surface of Mars to Earth. The results of this study will inform a potential update to NASA's Mars Sample Return Program and may result in future procurements with industry. Rocket Lab's study will explore a simplified, end-to-end mission concept that would be delivered for a fraction of the current projected program cost and completed several years earlier than the current expected sample return date in 2040...

https://www.einpresswire.com/article/753922237/loxsat-payload-rolls-out-to-ksc-for-testing

ROCKLEDGE, FL, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Eta Space, the leading provider of Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) technology for space and energy applications, is excited to announce that assembly and integration of the LOXSAT payload is complete. The payload has officially rolled out to Kennedy Space Center where it will undergo environmental testing.
LOXSAT– a technology demonstration mission funded by NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate under a Tipping Point award, is set to demonstrate critical technologies in orbit that will enable orbital transfer vehicles to be refueled and reused. Upon successful conclusion of the environmental tests, the payload will be delivered to Long Beach California for integration with the rest of the spacecraft, built by Rocket Lab USA. The entire payload will then be sent to New Zealand for launch in late 2025.

"We are thrilled to meet this major milestone on the path towards launch", said Eta Space CEO William Notardonato. "As we transition from the fabrication and integration phase of the project to system testing and checkout, our team is excited to start more mission planning in detail. We can't wait to show that cryogenic propellants can be efficiently stored and transferred in microgravity."
Cryogenic fuels are safer and offer higher performance than other fuel alternatives but have perceived issues with boil off losses of the super cold fluid. Having proven long term zero boil off storage on Earth, Eta Space will prove they can be stored, and managed, for indefinite periods in space environment. Other testing will demonstrate the ability to transfer propellants from one tank to another. This capability will enable the deployment of fueling stations in orbit to allow for rapid maneuvering of large spacecraft across major orbit changes.
After proving key CFM technologies on LOXSAT, Eta Space will use the data and lessons learned to create a fully commercial orbiting fuel depot called Cryo-Dock™. This depot will have a standardized, agnostic interface to provide refueling of cryogenic upper stages and orbital transport vehicles in cis-lunar space. Once fuel is no longer a launch constraint, expect dramatically lower mission costs, reusable upper stages and easier access to other planets.

Rocket Lab will produce Pioneer spacecraft for in-space pharmaceutical processing company Varda Space Industries that will integrate with Varda's W-series capsule, enabling high-value pharmaceuticals to be processed in space and returned to Earth in a Varda built re-entry capsule.
From life-saving pharmaceuticals to producing more powerful fiber optics, there is a world of products used on Earth today that can only be manufactured in space. After launch, Rocket Lab's Pioneer will position the spacecraft in an operational orbit and provide station keeping. Pioneer will support Varda's 120 kg manufacturing and re-entry capsules with power, data, and attitude control. All four Pioneer spacecraft will also incorporate Rocket Lab-designed and built spacecraft components, including radios, reaction wheels and star trackers. Rocket Lab's Pioneer will perform multiple burns with the 3D-printed Curie engine, acting as a highly capable propulsion system to place Varda's re-entry capsule on a return trajectory to Earth...
