These satellites will attempt to bring measurements of developing hurricanes down to once an hour. Current options can only provide readings once every six hours. This will have a great increase in modeling for forecasters and emergency planners to prepare coastal cities for these powerful storms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the need to launch more payloads into the same constellation, Rocket Lab will have to launch the next mission in two weeks.

LC-1A was the original launch pad for Electron and has launched most of the company\u2019s rockets. LC-1B is next to LC-1A and launched its first Electron in February of 2022. The newest launch pad for Electron is on Wallops Island, Virginia, at MARS and is called LC-2 by Rocket Lab and 0C by Virgina Space. <\/p>\n<p><ins data-ad-format=\"auto\" class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7125080057269629\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" style=\"display: block; margin: auto; background-color: transparent; height: 0px;\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"aswift_3\" name=\"aswift_3\" style=\"left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; border: 0px; width: 775px; height: 0px; min-height: auto; max-height: none; min-width: auto; max-width: none;\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" width=\"775\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/googleads.g.doubleclick.net\/pagead\/ads?gdpr=0&amp;us_privacy=1YNN&amp;gpp=DBABL~BVQqAAAAAg&amp;gpp_sid=7&amp;client=ca-pub-7125080057269629&amp;output=html&amp;h=280&amp;num_ads=1&amp;adk=2072073738&amp;adf=1821075794&amp;abgtt=7&amp;w=775&amp;fwrn=4&amp;fwrnh=100&amp;lmt=1783319442&amp;rafmt=1&amp;armr=3&amp;sem=mc&amp;pwprc=4018519472&amp;ad_type=text_image&amp;format=775x280&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceexplored.com%2F2023%2F05%2F08%2Fnext-rocket-lab-launch%2F&amp;host=ca-host-pub-5506057612223327&amp;fwr=0&amp;pra=3&amp;rh=194&amp;rw=774&amp;rpe=1&amp;resp_fmts=3&amp;fa=27&amp;dt=1783319442556&amp;bpp=4&amp;bdt=2222&amp;idt=4&amp;shv=r20260701&amp;mjsv=m202606290101&amp;ptt=9&amp;saldr=aa&amp;abxe=1&amp;cookie=ID%3Deb38cfaf5314820a%3AT%3D1783309737%3ART%3D1783319311%3AS%3DALNI_MZNqFbc4J_9Mwx0DA_RKZFv6Rgd_w&amp;gpic=UID%3D0000141585b75109%3AT%3D1783309737%3ART%3D1783319311%3AS%3DALNI_Mb8Ou0XY9m-6RZcHIoT0NY6XJT4Aw&amp;eo_id_str=ID%3D81b549665d6763db%3AT%3D1783309737%3ART%3D1783319311%3AS%3DAA-AfjaPQtwRjAqqOxsOk9A3h9AB&amp;prev_fmts=0x0%2C336x280%2C775x280&amp;nras=3&amp;correlator=2681159325253&amp;frm=20&amp;pv=1&amp;u_tz=480&amp;u_his=1&amp;u_h=960&amp;u_w=1707&amp;u_ah=912&amp;u_aw=1707&amp;u_cd=24&amp;u_sd=1.5&amp;dmc=8&amp;adx=96&amp;ady=2102&amp;biw=1421&amp;bih=637&amp;scr_x=0&amp;scr_y=0&amp;eid=95395662%2C95390278%2C95393485&amp;oid=2&amp;pvsid=7428068042934836&amp;tmod=1553098154&amp;uas=0&amp;nvt=1&amp;fc=1408&amp;brdim=133%2C96%2C133%2C96%2C1707%2C0%2C1441%2C720%2C1438%2C637&amp;vis=1&amp;rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&amp;abl=NS&amp;fu=128&amp;bc=31&amp;bz=1&amp;ifi=4&amp;uci=a!4&amp;btvi=3&amp;fsb=1&amp;dtd=79\" data-google-container-id=\"a!4\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Advertisement\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-query-id=\"CPrr0b62vZUDFb0kewcd96EWaw\"><\/iframe><\/ins><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-list-of-past-rocket-lab-launches\">List of past Rocket Lab launches<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rocket Lab has launched 33 Electron rockets, with its best year being 2022, with nine successful launches so far.
