'Live, Laugh, Launch' is the second of two dedicated missions on Electron for a confidential customer in 2025. This mission deployed 5 satellites to a 655 km circular Earth orbit identified as “Calistus A to E”, identified as most likely for Low Earth Orbit communication satellite constellation operator E-Space.
STARK was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Electron | Live, Laugh, Launch (Calistus A-E)’, on board a Electron space rocket.
The launch took place on Aug. 23, 2025, 10:42 p.m. from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1A.
