September 16, 2022 – TheNewswire – Rocket Lab USA (RKLB), a leading launch and space systems company, announced the delivery of its 30th mission and 150th satellite into orbit following the last successful Electron launch earlier this week.

“The Owl Spreads Its Wings,” a dedicated mission for Japanese earth observation company Synspective, launched on the Electron rocket from Pad B at the Rocket Lab Launch Complex in mid-September. The mission successfully deployed a single spacecraft, the StriX-1 satellite, into a 563 km circular Earth orbit, where it will join other StriX satellites launched by Rocket Lab in February 2022 and December 2020 and as part of Synspective’s constellation of Earth observation satellites.

Earlier in September, Rocket Lab also successfully tested a reused Rutherford first stage engine for the first time. The company says this was a major technical achievement as Rocket Lab develops the Electron into the world’s first reusable orbital small rocket.

Rocket Lab says the rest of the 2022 statement includes another attempt to retrieve an Electron rocket by helicopter and the first Electron mission from Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 2 on Wallops Island, Virginia.

Founded in 2006, Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company with an established track record of mission success. Since its first orbital launch in January 2018, Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle has become the second most frequently launched US rocket annually and has delivered 150 satellites into orbit.

Rocket Lab shares trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol RKLB. For more information visit www.greenstocknews.com
