Rocket Lab announces successful launch of Electron mission for BlackSky

Rocket Lab USA (RKLB) announced it successfully launched its 65th Electron to deploy Earth-imaging satellites for real-time space-based intelligence company BlackSky (BKSY). “Today’s launch for BlackSky will be Electron’s seventh successful mission of 2025, Rocket Lab’s 65th launch overall, and brings the total number of satellites delivered to space by Electron to 226,” the company stated. Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, said: “Another successful mission to add to Electron’s already stellar track record of providing reliable orbital access for constellation developers across the globe. We’re laser-focused on delivering an increasing cadence of regular and reliable dedicated access to space for small satellite operators with Electron, and looking forward to continuing to deploy BlackSky’s constellation with more Electron launches in the months to come.” Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO, said: “With each successive launch BlackSky expands on-orbit capacity, introduces Gen-3 capabilities and furthers our ability to meet the demands of the most time-dominant missions. Our partnership with Rocket Lab has demonstrated exceptional agility in deploying capacity where and when our customers need it most.”
