Electron has been selected by @nasa for three launches in 2027 to deploy its PolSIR and TSIS-2 Sun and Earth sciences missions.
We've been delivering reliability, precise orbital accuracy, and on-demand launch for NASA missions for almost a decade - and we're ready to deliver that once again for PolSIR and TSIS-2 from Launch Complex 1 early next year.

Meet our Pioneer spacecraft bringing commercial RPO capability to space for @USSpaceForce and @USSF_SSC.
A highly configurable medium delta-V spacecraft that can carry up to 120kg of payload, Pioneer can approach and inspect other satellites with pinpoint precision.
โ Autonomous navigation
โ Engine relight capability
โ Built entirely in-house with critical subsystems (solar, propulsion, radios, flight software) supplied by Rocket Lab
Launch so fast we did it without a webcastโฆ just kidding.
Watch our responsive launch for the VICTUS HAZE mission for the @USSpaceForce and @USSF_SSC
