The Rocket Lab "Running Out Of Toes" is the first of four dedicated launches this year for BlackSky, a leading provider of real-time geospatial intelligence and global monitoring services. Running Out Of Toes will see Electron deploy two 60kg class Earth-observation satellites to low Earth orbit, where they’ll join three BlackSky satellites previously deployed by [...]
The Rocket Lab "They Go Up So Fast" mission, which will be Rocket Lab’s 19th Electron launch, will lift-off from Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand’s Māhia Peninsula.Rocket Lab's 19th Electron mission will deploy a range of satellites for commercial and government satellite operators, as well as place a next-generation Rocket Lab Photon spacecraft in [...]
The loss of Space Shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986 was one of the most significant "where were you" moments in recent history. Like many schoolchildren across the country, maybe you were watching Teacher in Space Christa McAuliffe. Or like millions of others, perhaps you learned of the accident shortly afterward and tuned in to [...]
This is a launch to sun-synchronous polar orbit from Florida as part of SpaceX's Rideshare program dedicated to smallsat customers. The mission again makes use of the Eastern Range's recently reopened polar corridor launching southward with a dogleg maneuver. The mission will also include 10 Starlink satellites, the first to go to a polar orbit. [...]

Mercury-Redstone 1 (MR-1) was the tenth Mercury Program test flight and the first Mercury-Redstone uncrewed flight test. It was the first attempt to launch a Mercury spacecraft with the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle. Intended to be an uncrewed sub-orbital spaceflight, it was launched on November 21, 1960 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The launch [...]
‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Optical’ is a dedicated mission for Capella Space, an information services company providing Earth observation data on demand.Capella’s payload, ‘Sequoia’, is a single 100 kg class microsatellite which will be the first publicly available satellite in the company’s commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) constellation. By positioning the satellite to a [...]
