Two launch complexes housing three launch pads, across two countries. This is how Rocket Lab makes truly responsive access to space a reality.

Rocket Lab will attempt to recover the first stage of its Electron rocket during its next mission, the ‘Return to Sender’ launch, scheduled for lift-off in mid-November. The test will see Rocket Lab attempt to bring Electron’s first stage back to Earth under a parachute system for a controlled water landing before collection by a recovery vessel. The mission will be the first time Rocket Lab has attempted to recover a stage after launch and is a major milestone in Rocket Lab’s pursuit to make Electron a reusable rocket to support an increased launch cadence for small satellite missions.

Lift-off of the 'In Focus' mission for Planet and Canon occurred at 21:21 UTC on October 28 2020 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 Pad A on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula.

Space systems company Rocket Lab has launched its first in-house designed and built operational satellite, cementing the company’s evolution from a launch provider to an end-to-end space solutions company that offers turnkey satellites and spacecraft components, launch, and on-orbit operations.

Lift-off of the 'I Can't Believe It's Not Optical' mission occurred at 03:05 UTC on August 31 2020 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 Pad A on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula.

Lift-off of the 'Pics Or It Didn't Happen' mission occurred at 21:19 UTC on July 04 2020 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 Pad A on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula. Following a successful lift-off, first stage burn, and stage separation, Rocket Lab experienced an anomaly during its 13th Electron mission ‘Pics Or It Didn’t Happen.’ The issue occurred approximately four minutes into the flight on July 4, 2020 and resulted in the safe loss of the vehicle. As a result, the payloads onboard Electron were not deployed to orbit. Electron remained within the predicted launch corridors and caused no harm to personnel or the launch site.

Lift-off of the 'Don't Stop Me Now mission occurred at 05:12 UTC on June 13 2020 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula.
