The \u201cFollow My Speed\u201d mission lifted off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand on November 20, 2025 at 12:43 UTC (November 21, 2025 at 1:43 am NZDT) to successfully deploy its payload for a confidential commercial customer. The mission launched just two days after the Company\u2019s latest launch from Launch Complex 2 on Wallops Island, Virginia, Rocket Lab\u2019s third HASTE launch this year and sixth mission overall involving its suborbital variant of Electron for hypersonic technology test flights.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-layout related-content-also-read-box my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"mb-0\">Rocket Lab Successfully Launches 70th Electron Small Orbital Mission<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These record-setting events further solidify Electron\u2019s industry leadership as the world\u2019s most frequently launched small orbital rocket. Rocket Lab has increased the annual launch cadence of Electron by 1,700% in less than a decade, driven by international demand for its responsive space capabilities and proven execution with pinpoint payload deployment accuracy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Peter Beck<\/strong>, says: \u201cElectron once again proves why it is the champion of small launch globally. These two launches serve as great examples of the team\u2019s skill at delivering mission success for our customers anywhere, anytime, and no matter the mission profile \u2013 from a suborbital hypersonic technology demonstration to a commercial orbital mission, all within 48 hours and from opposite sides of the world. This new annual record is a proud moment for a remarkable team that continues to set new benchmarks for the launch industry.\u201d Rocket Lab remains on track to further extend Electron\u2019s annual launch record and end the year with more launches scheduled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rocket Lab Corporation, a global leader in launch services and space systems, completed its second launch in two days from its launch sites in two hemispheres, setting a new annual launch record for the Company: 18 Electron launches in 2025 with 100% mission success.
