Rocket Lab has secured a second multi-launch contract with Synspective Inc. – bringing the total number of upcoming missions with them to 21, the largest order of dedicated Electron missions with a single customer to date. Rocket Lab has been Synspective’s sole launch provider so far, successfully deploying six StriX satellites across six dedicated launches from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. The next 21 Synspective launches will take place from the same launch site, with Rocket Lab’s schedule flexibility, tailored launch service, and streamlined operations central to Synspective’s decision to extend its previous multi-launch contract.

⚡ Meet Lightning ⚡Our powerhouse spacecraft platform built for high-power, long-life missions in low Earth orbit & beyond. Right now, our Long Beach team is building Lightning satellites at scale to power two major constellations: 🔹 17 satellites for Globalstar's next-gen constellation that will extend the life of their messaging and IoT services fleet. 🔹 18 satellites for the Space Development Agency's Tranche 2 Transport Layer-Beta constellation to enable secure, low-latency comms for the warfighter. When the mission calls for serious endurance, Lightning strikes. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3YlOEdK
