Where others promise responsiveness, we deliver it with Electron - repeatedly.

With reliable rockets, a steady production line, launch sites we control, and an experienced team that moves quickly, we deliver every piece that matters for responding fast to the nation's most important missions.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

This mission is a bold demonstration of American ingenuity that could change how we maintain, upgrade, and operate spacecraft for years to come.

Every new capability we prove today expands what’s possible tomorrow.

Tactically responsive space launch 🤝 Commercial satellite with RPO capability

Rocket Lab is the first and only company to deliver both for a Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) mission by the @USSpaceForce and @USSF_SSC with VICTUS HAZE.

That means we designed and built the spacecraft, launched it on our own rocket, and now we're operating it on orbit. That's end-to-end space capability in action.

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

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.

[Peter Beck @Peter_J_Beck]

100% mission success

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

The Space Force called, and we launched. From call up to lift-off in just 16 hours 42 minutes 🎯 Rocket Lab has made history - the fastest response time ever for a @USSF_SSC Tactically Responsive Space mission.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Wild times ahead!

Payload integration complete. The StriX satellite for @synspective has been encapsulated on Electron ahead of our next mission to low Earth orbit for their Earth-imaging constellation.

'Ten Owl Of Ten' - our 90th Electron launch - is scheduled for launch NET June 18 NZT.
