Rocket Lab successfully completed its 93rd Electron rocket launch from New Zealand, deploying the ninth QPS-SAR satellite for the Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space (iQPS), with nine more launches booked to finish the constellation by 2030.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Government & Space.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Rocket Lab’s steady cadence of Electron launches and booked missions means you should plan for a reliable small satellite launch partner over the next four years. This opens a pathway to deploy constellation technology faster and reduces uncertainty about launch access.
