MISSION OVERVIEW
'Four Of A Kind', a dedicated mission for Spire Global Inc and its customer NorthStar Earth & Space, is Rocket Lab's first Electron launch of 2024 and our 43rd Electron mission overall.
The mission is scheduled to launch no earlier than January 18 between 19:15-20:00 NZT (January 18 between 06:15-07:00 UTC) from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. 'Four Of A Kind' will deploy four Space Situational Awareness (SSA) satellites for Spire Global, Inc's (Spire) customer NorthStar Earth & Space (NorthStar). NorthStar´s satellites, built and operated by Spire, will be the first to simultaneously monitor all near-Earth orbits from space, delivering a radically enhanced level of SSA services to the global satellite community, with timely and precise information for space object detection, tracking, orbit determination, collision avoidance, navigation, and proximity alerts.

For our 43rd Electron launch, we'll be bringing back Electron as part of our latest recovery mission. To help protect against re-entry forces as Electron returns from space, this rocket includes a silver heat protection called TPS, and an extended carbon-composite shield to protect the Rutherford engines.
