    Rocket Lab & NASA launch CAPSTONE to the Moon

    by Mihir Neal June 27, 2022
    written by Mihir Neal

    Rocket Lab has launched the CAPSTONE (Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) satellite to the Moon. It’s the first official mission of NASA’s Artemis program that is seeking to permanently return humans to the surface of our nearest astronomical body.

    Launching onboard the Electron rocket, liftoff occurred at 5:55 AM EDT (09:55 UTC) on Tuesday, June 28, from Launch Complex 1B at Rocket Lab’s launch facility on Māhia Peninsula, New Zealand. This mission made Electron the smallest rocket to launch a payload toward the Moon and the first lunar flight to lift off from New Zealand.
