The \u2018Changes in Attitudes, Changes in Latitudes\u2019 mission launched from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand at 11:54 pm on November 5th, 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The mission was Rocket Lab\u2019s 12th Electron launch this year, continuing to best the Company\u2019s previous record of 10 annual launches achieved in 2023. Electron remains the world\u2019s third most frequently launched rocket annually by vehicle type, and the United States\u2019 second most frequently launched rocket annually.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s mission was launched less than ten weeks from the mission\u2019s launch contract signing, making it one of the Company\u2019s fastest turnarounds yet from contract to launch. Historically it was typical to take years from contract signing to launch, causing bottlenecks and limited launch opportunities for satellite operators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rocket Lab\u2019s Electron rocket revolutionized this by making it possible for customers to book and launch in just weeks, enabling them to test technologies faster, begin generating revenue from constellations earlier, or gather urgent data from orbit at near on-demand timelines. This business model is enabled by standardized rapid production of Electron launch vehicles, responsive launch sites, proven and established launch systems, and an experienced team capable of delivering rapid call-up launch year-round. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck,<\/strong> says: \u201cAnother successful launch showcasing all the best attributes of the Rocket Lab team and Electron: a streamlined process from contract to orbit, pinpoint deployment accuracy, and a responsive service tailored exactly to the customer\u2019s needs. Now 12 for 12 this year across commercial, civil, and national security missions, I\u2019m proud of the team for delivering launch after launch as we continue to deliver a record year across launch and space systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pku19e-MHis?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rocket Lab USA, a global leader in launch services and space systems, successfully launched its 54th Electron mission, deploying a single satellite to Low Earth Orbit for a confidential commercial customer.
