The mission named \u201cWithout Mission A Beat\u201d will be the first Electron launch of 2022, and its window opens on February 4. The launch will be from Rocket Lab\u2019s launch complex in New Zealand on LC-1A. This site is where we\u2019ve seen all of Rocket Lab\u2019s launches take place so far.<\/p>\n

Onboard will be two BlackSky Gen-2 satellites obtained through launch service provider Spaceflight Inc. BlackSky has taken residency in four of Rocket Lab\u2019s last five launches. Of those missions, one was lost due to an error with the Electron\u2019s second stage.<\/p>\n

This mission was intended to be the final launch in a contract signed with Spaceflight Inc for four BlackSky satellites. However, BlackSky added a sixth flight to the agreement, which will occur later this year. After this launch, Rocket Lab will attempt its \u201cback-to-back\u201d launches from LC-1A and B with payloads from the National Reconnaissance Office.<\/p>\n
