Today’s launch is the 42nd for the Electron launch vehicle, which sends small satellites into Earth orbit and beyond.

On December 15, Rocket Lab successfully launched the Japanese satellite Tsukuyomi-1 into space. Space.com reported it.

The Electron launch vehicle launched from the spaceport in New Zealand has already been mentioned. On board the rocket was the Japanese satellite Tsukuyomi-1 from the iQPS company, which conducts Earth observation. Electron deployed Tsukuyomi-1 into low Earth orbit approximately 56.5 minutes after launch.

It was Rocket Lab’s first launch since September 19. The Electron mission failed after 2.5 minutes into flight, resulting in the loss of one of Capella Space’s San Francisco-based Earth observation satellites. However, the company quickly identified the problem and fixed it.

Today’s launch is the 42nd for the Electron launch vehicle, which sends small satellites into Earth orbit and beyond.

In total, iQPS plans to launch 36 satellites into orbit, capable of tracking specific points on Earth every 10 minutes.

Let’s recall that in March, the American light-class Electron rocket successfully launched into orbit two commercial Earth radar satellites Capella-9 and Capella-10.

It was also reported that the Electron rocket launched in New Zealand successfully launched two BlackSky remote sensing satellites into orbit.
