The SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket has successfully launched from NASA"s Kennedy Space Center, carrying the ViaSat-3 F3 communications satellite to geosynchronous transfer orbit, marking its first launch in 18 months. This mission demonstrates the capabilities of the Falcon Heavy, one of the most powerful operational launch vehicles in the world.
On March 5, Rocket Lab launched a spacecraft into a 470-kilometer mid-inclination orbit from its Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, marking the company's fourth Electron launch of 2026. The mission was conducted for an undisclosed customer, likely Earth observation firm BlackSky.
BlackSky has confirmed it was the confidential customer behind the recent launch of a Gen-3 satellite on a Rocket Lab Electron rocket, which successfully deployed into a 468 x 477 km orbit. The company has already delivered high-resolution images from the satellite and announced a major contract to integrate its services into a strategic international defense customer's secure environment.
