Photo / Rocket LabRocket Lab has celebrated its 50th rocket launch with a successful early morning mission from its launch pad in Mahia.The No Time Toulouse mission lifted off from Mahia at 6.13am today, carrying five satellites.The company, set up by Kiwi Peter Beck, has its headquarters in the United States but launches most of its Electron rockets from the Mahia Peninsula in northern Hawke’s Bay.The No Time Toulouse mission was the company’s 50th launch of its 18-metre Electron rockets and the 46th launch from Mahia. The other four launches have been in the US.AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.Rocket Lab’s first launch was from Mahia in 2017.“Fifty launches later, Electron is the most successful commercial small rocket globally,” Beck said of the milestone.“Making it to 50 launches faster than any commercially developed rocket in history is testament to the incredible team we have behind us.“Today’s precise, tailored mission for [French satellite operator] Kineis is yet another demonstration of the value Electron continues to provide to the small sat community.AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.“Congratulations to our team and thank you to our customers and supporters.”The company is working on a bigger rocket than the Electron, which will be called Neutron and be more than 40m high.“To put it into context, Electron lifts about 300 kilograms to orbit; Neutron will lift 13,000kg to orbit,” Beck formerly told Hawke’s Bay Today.That rocket won’t launch in New Zealand. It will be launched from Rocket Lab’s US launch site at Wallops Island, Virginia.SaveShare this articleLatest from Hawkes Bay TodayHawkes Bay TodayYoung star shines as Turkeys win national title again18 Sep 03:43 AMCentral Hawke's Bay MailWestshore to Meeanee Car Hop coming up next month18 Sep 01:22 AMHawkes Bay TodayFamily of Ariki Rigby weep in court as man charged with murder appears17 Sep 11:04 PMThe old wives’ tales optometrists agree with – and the ones they don’tsponsoredAdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.Latest from Hawkes Bay TodayYoung star shines as Turkeys win national title again18 Sep 03:43 AMThree days of indoor cricket saw the Hawke's Bay Turkeys retain their national title.Westshore to Meeanee Car Hop coming up next month18 Sep 01:22 AMFamily of Ariki Rigby weep in court as man charged with murder appears17 Sep 11:04 PMMax horsepower: Riders take to the streets for road safety17 Sep 10:42 PMsponsoredUnrush Hour starts on the scenic drive to Hanmer SpringsNZ HeraldAbout NZ HeraldMeet the journalistsNewslettersClassifiedsHelp & supportContact usHouse rulesPrivacy PolicyTerms of useCompetition terms & conditionsOur use of AISubscriber ServicesHawke's Bay Today e-editionManage your print subscriptionManage your digital subscriptionSubscribe to Herald PremiumSubscribe to the Hawke's Bay TodayGift a subscriptionSubscriber FAQsSubscription terms & conditionsPromotions and subscriber benefitsBundle subscriptionsNZME NetworkHawke's Bay TodayThe New Zealand HeraldThe Northland AgeThe Northern AdvocateWaikato HeraldBay of Plenty TimesRotorua Daily PostWhanganui ChronicleVivaNZ ListenerWhat the ActualNewstalk ZBBusinessDeskOneRoofDriven CarGuideiHeart RadioRestaurant HubNZMENZME EventsAbout NZMENZME careersAdvertise with NZMEDigital self-service advertisingBook your classified adPhoto sales© Copyright 2024 NZME Publishing LimitedTOP
