Associated space launch
This is the Rocket Lab's 10th flight. It carries several small satellites for international commercial customers. This is also the first flight to feature an upgraded first stage of the Electron rocket, which is now equipped with new hardware and sensors. After completing its mission, Electron's first stage will perform a guided atmospheric re-entry, gathering data necessary for the development of Rocket Lab's reusability program.
ALE-2 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Electron | Running Out Of Fingers (Rideshare)’, on board a Electron space rocket.
The launch took place on Dec. 6, 2019, 8:18 a.m. from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1A.
