Rocket Lab To Launch National Reconnaissance Office Mission

The mission will demonstrate Rocket Lab's unique capability to provide frequent and rapidly-acquired launch opportunities for U.S. government small satellite missions

Huntington Beach, California. 20 January 2020 – Rocket Lab, the global leader in small satellite launch, has announced today that it will launch a dedicated mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The launch window is scheduled to open on 31 January NZDT and the mission, called 'Birds of a Feather,' will lift off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1.

The NRO competitively awarded the contract under the Rapid Acquisition of a Small Rocket (RASR) contract vehicle. RASR allows the NRO to explore new launch opportunities that can provide a streamlined, commercial approach for getting small satellites into space.

Rocket Lab's Senior Vice President – Global Launch Services, Lars Hoffman, says the Electron vehicle is uniquely placed to deliver the kind of frequent, rapidly-acquired launch opportunities required by the NRO and other government agencies to ensure resiliency in space.

"We are honored the NRO has selected Rocket Lab as the launch provider for this dedicated mission. The Electron launch vehicle is perfectly positioned to provide the kind of rapid and responsive access to space that puts the NRO in complete control over their own launch schedule and orbital requirements," Mr. Hoffman says. "As the industry shifts toward the disaggregation of large, geostationary spacecraft, Electron enables unprecedented access to space to support a resilient layer of government small satellite infrastructure."

Rocket Lab has been launching to orbit since January 2018 and is now the world's leading dedicated small satellite launch provider. Rocket Lab remains the only launch provider capable of meeting the rapid-acquisition and launch requirements of dedicated small satellite missions for the U.S. government. Rocket Lab has delivered 47 satellites to orbit on the Electron launch vehicle, enabling operations in space debris mitigation, Earth observation, ship and airplane tracking, and radio communications

Although, perhaps, one can divine clues from the NROL-151 mission logo on the rocket. Good luck?

Will this flight pack chutes for descent practice after reentry? :)

Not this flight, it's a repeat of flight 10 but with better cameras and telemetry.

Очень серьезный клиент! Если все пройдет успешно, это будет большим достижением для Бека и Ко.
