The application for the installation and launch of the satellite came from the Space Force just 24 hours before the launch of the rocket, which had been ready for more than two weeks.

In the US state of California, an Alpha launch vehicle launched a satellite into orbit for the US Space Force. This was announced yesterday by the vehicle developer company Firefly Aerospace.

The launch of a light two-stage rocket capable of launching about 1.2 tons of payload into orbit was carried out from the Vandenberg Space Force Base.

The mission, called Victus Nox, which means “conquer the night” in Latin, is intended to demonstrate how quickly the US military can launch a satellite into orbit in response to a potential national security threat. The application for the installation and launch of the device came from the Space Force just 24 hours before the launch of the rocket, which had been ready for more than two weeks.

This is the company’s third rocket launch. In September 2021, the Alpha rocket was detonated on command from the control center shortly after launch due to technical problems.

Firefly Aerospace is a privately held aerospace company headquartered in Austin, Texas. It develops lightweight launch vehicles to launch small satellites and cubesats into orbit.
