Two satellites, two completely different orbits, one launch. For our 47th mission, we’re doing things a bit differently to deploy two satellites to both 520km AND 1,000km in low Earth orbit. Here’s how. 'Beginning Of The Swarm' for @kaistpr & @NASA. Target launch date: April 24 UTC. Mission info: bit.ly/3xAxsql

The orbit maneuverbility of Electron’s Kick Stage is crucial to this mission. First, NEONSAT-1 for @kaistpr will be deployed to its target circular orbit of 520km after lift-off of Electron from LC-1.
@RocketLab @kaistpr @NASA Weird how a company who had a failure not long ago, is busy as hell!
@RocketLab @kaistpr @NASA Not impressed. Do polar and equatorial in one launch.
