The dedicated-rideshare mission follows the model that Spaceflight set with SpaceX for a Falcon 9 launch, now expected to go up next year. Rocket Lab has been developing its carbon-composite Electron rocket for months, with an eye toward offering orbital launches for $5 million. The Electron\u2019s first test launch is scheduled next week in New Zealand. Spaceflight and Rocket Lab haven\u2019t yet set a date for the rideshare launch, but it\u2019s likely to be sometime next year.
