Rocket Lab has launched two satellites for BlackSky on the 25th flight of its Electron rocket. The mission lifted off from Launch Complex-1A (LC-1A) at Rocket Lab’s launch site on the Mahia peninsula in New Zealand at 12:41 UTC on Saturday (1:41 AM local time on Saturday).
California-based Rocket Lab has begun a tradition of giving each of its Electron missions a nickname. In accordance with this, Saturday’s launch is named “Without Mission a Beat.”
