Associated space launch
Rideshare mission for Spaceflight. Electron will launch seven spacecraft, including a commercial Earth-observing microsatellite for BlackSky, two CubeSats for U.S. Special Operations Command, a pair of tiny prototype data relay nodes for Swarm Technologies, a student-built payload from Australia called ACRUX-1, and a satellite whose identity and owner remain a secret. The mission is named "Make it Rain" in a nod to the high volume of rainfall in Seattle, where Spaceflight is headquartered, as well in New Zealand where Launch Complex 1 is located.
ACRUX 1 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Electron | Make It Rain (Rideshare)’, on board a Electron space rocket.
The launch took place on June 29, 2019, 4:30 a.m. from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1A.
