Rocket Lab successfully completed the 70th mission of its Electron rocket, marking a milestone with a flawless launch from Launch Complex 1 (LC-1). This mission, the 12th from LC-1 in 2025, maintained the company's 100% mission success rate for the year and achieved deployment of the EchoStar Lyra-2 satellite along with four confidential payloads into low Earth orbit. The launch was executed on the first attempt with a nominal transfer orbit confirmed. In a related development, Rocket Lab inaugurated Launch Complex 3 (LC-3) at Wallops Island, Virginia, a new facility dedicated to the Neutron rocket program. The opening ceremony included the activation of the water deluge system and was attended by dignitaries including Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin. The LC-3 facility represents a critical step toward Neutron's first launch and aims to provide enhanced orbital launch capacity for important U.S. missions. Rocket Lab's founder praised the engineering team for completing LC-3 in record time, emphasizing its significance for assured access to space.
