Mission will verify the near rectilinear halo orbit characteristics, spacecraft-to-spacecraft navigation services in that orbit, and provide valuable experience of small sat launch to the Moon. LocationRocket Lab Launch Complex 1AOnenui Station, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand22 rockets have launched from Onenui Station, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand. RocketElectronLength: 18 meters Diameter: 1.2 meters First Launch: May 25, 2017Electron is a two-stage orbital expendable launch vehicle (with an optional third stage) developed by the American aerospace company Rocket Lab. Electron is a small-lift launch vehicle designed to launch small satellites and cubesats to sun-synchronous orbit and low earth orbit. The Electron is the first orbital class rocket to use electric-pump-fed engines, powered by the 9 Rutherford engines on the first stage.The Electron rocket has been launched a total of 22 times with 19 successful and 3 failed launches. AgencyRocket Lab LtdType: Commercial Abbreviation: RL Administration: CEO: Peter Beck Founded: 2006 Launchers: ElectronCountry: USARocket Lab is an American aerospace manufacturer with a wholly owned New Zealand subsidiary. The company develops lightweight, cost-effective commercial rocket launch services. The Electron Program was founded on the premise that small payloads such as CubeSats require dedicated small launch vehicles and flexibility not currently offered by traditional rocket systems. Its rocket, the Electron, is a light-weight rocket and is now operating commercially. Electron currently launches from only Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand however they are currently looking into developing a facility in the US. View Rocket Launch Schedule
