'Live, Laugh, Launch' is the second of two dedicated missions on Electron for a confidential customer in 2025. This mission deployed 5 satellites to a 655 km circular Earth orbit identified as “Calistus A to E”, identified as most likely for Low Earth Orbit communication satellite constellation operator E-Space.
Rocket Lab is an American aerospace manufacturer with a wholly owned New Zealand subsidiary. The company develops lightweight, cost-effective commercial rocket launch services. The Electron Program was founded on the premise that small payloads such as CubeSats require dedicated small launch vehicles and flexibility not currently offered by traditional rocket systems. Its rocket, the Electron, is a light-weight rocket and is now operating commercially. The company is also producing a variety of spacecrafts and spacecrafts components.
