The space firm, which has previously plucked a rocket booster out of the sky, will also launch NASA’s ‘swarm’ satellite, Starling.
Rocket Lab’s upcoming Electron mission, called “Baby Come Back”, will see the US and New Zealand-based company perform another marine recovery attempt of its rocket booster.
Rocket Lab announced in a press statement it will lift a number of satellites to low Earth orbit before attempting to retrieve its rocket booster from the ocean. The company is developing two reusability methods, one that plucks boosters out of the sky using a helicopter and the marine recovery method.
