Rocket Lab is preparing for its Running Out of Toes’ mission, which will be quite different from the previous two this year. All because this launch will be Rocket Lab’s second attempt to safely return Electron’s first stage to Earth from space. Running Out of Toes will be launching from Launch Complex-1A, Māhia Peninsula, New Zealand. On this mission, Electron will carry two Earth-observation microsatellites for BlackSky’s constellation into a 430 km low Earth orbit (LEO) at 50° inclination.
