Rocket Lab (RKLB) said on Saturday it has launched its first dedicated mission for Japan’s space agency, JAXA, marking a milestone for the Electron rocket’s role in providing reliable access to space worldwide.
Rocket Lab’s successful launch for JAXA reflects the growing integration of commercial companies into national space programs both domestically and internationally.
A dedicated Electron launch for the European Space Agency (ESA) is also planned for launch in the new year, further highlighting Electron’s international demand.
