Rocket Lab Corporation (RKLB), a leader in launch services and space systems, has bolstered its 2025 Electron launch manifest with the addition of two new dedicated missions for a confidential commercial customer. The first of these missions, "Symphony In The Stars," is poised for launch in just four days from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. This mission aims to deploy a single spacecraft into a 650km circular Earth orbit.

The second mission is aligned to similar mission requirements and is anticipated to launch by the end of 2025. These missions underscore Rocket Lab's commitment to offering responsive and tailored launch services to satellite operators, allowing for precise scheduling and short notice launches. This adaptability showcases the company's prowess in the dedicated small launch sector.

Rocket Lab's Founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, emphasized the importance of these missions by stating, “These newly-added missions to our launch manifest represent everything that makes Electron a global launch leader... We’re proud to be delivering an unbeatable launch service for this new customer on Electron and looking forward to the first launch this week.”

With a growing demand for over 20 Electron launches in 2025 and a consistent record of mission success, Rocket Lab continues to gain traction among commercial, civil, and government satellite operators. The company’s dual launch sites in New Zealand and Virginia position it uniquely for continued expansion in the space launch market.
