The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.

We delivered 100% mission success for VICTUS HAZE, but we’re not stopping there 🛰️ 💪

Our Pioneer spacecraft will extend operations for several months to prove out even more advanced RPO tactics and techniques for the @USSF_SSC, further redefining responsive space.

Mission success for VICTUS HAZE! 🚀🎯

We’ve officially completed the @usspaceforce @ussf_ssc primary mission which saw Rocket Lab build a high performance spacecraft, deliver rapid call-up launch on Electron, and conduct complex on-orbit rendezvous and proximity operations - all ahead of schedule.

⏱️ Launch: Lifted off with just 16h 42m notice - the fastest response ever for a TacRS mission (beating previous record by 10 hours).

🛰️ Commissioning: Activated our Pioneer spacecraft in 38 hours (30 hours ahead of deadline).

📸 RPO Operations: Tracked, approached, and photographed the target satellite in under 59 hours (25 hours ahead of deadline).

@synspective MISSION SUCCESS: Payload deployment confirmed for 'Ten Owl Of Ten'! Welcome to orbit once again for @synspective.

The VICTUS HAZE mission explained.

Phase 1: Launch on demand 🚀 The @USSpaceForce's @USSF_SSC called, told us to launch, and just 16 hours 42 minutes hours later, Electron successfully left the pad from LC-1.

Phase 2: 🛰️ With Pioneer spacecraft checkouts complete 34 hours ahead of schedule, the chase is on to rendezvous with another satellite on orbit; one that doesn't want to be found.

@SpaceInvestor_D I added a liiiittle bit more at this levels (RKLB mainly)

Rocket Lab 🤝 Mars

From orbiters and landers to rovers and helicopters – our technology has enabled some of the most ambitious Mars missions in history.

With Motiv (creators of Perseverance's robotic arm) now part of Rocket Lab, we're one of the few companies capable of delivering complete Mars mission solutions, including launch + spacecraft + software, and now proven robotics for surface and orbital operations too.

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

We have officially acquired Motiv Space Systems.
Motiv – now Rocket Lab Robotics – brings mission-tested Mars heritage with advanced multi-degree of freedom robotic arms, actuators, and drive electronics that have enabled some of the most ambitious planetary exploration missions in history, including NASA's Mars Perseverance rover.

We're now one of few companies in the world capable of delivering end-to-end Mars mission solutions including launch, spacecraft, software, and proven robotics for surface and on-orbit operations. This unique capability positions us to lead programs like Mars Sample Return mission and the Mars Telecommunications Network.

Nine years ago today, we launched Electron for the first time.

Later this year, Electron is expected to reach 100 launches, likely making it the fastest privately developed orbital rocket to hit that milestone.

From “It’s a test” to one of the world’s highest cadence launch vehicles in under a decade.

Here's a little walk down memory lane from that first historic launch.

@SciGuySpace An unreasonably long wait, but we are fixing this.

[ERNEST CF @ErnestCalFab]

Ya han pasado dos días del vuelo 12 de Starship y con la cantidad de cosas interesantes que han pasado en este lanzamiento toca hacer un hilo analizando todo lo ocurrido.
Espero que lo disfrutéis, pero recordad que hay especulación y no se puede tomar nada por seguro.

Starship’s twelfth flight test will debut the next generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, powered by the next evolution of the Raptor engine and launching from a newly designed pad at Starbase. The launch is targeted as early as Tuesday, May 19 → https://t.co/2gZQUxS6mm
