Rocket Lab Prepares 70th Electron Mission for August Launch

 Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 20, 2025

Rocket Lab has confirmed its 70th Electron launch is set for this weekend, lifting off no earlier than August 23 from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. The dedicated mission, named Live Laugh Launch, will deploy five satellites into a 655 km circular Earth orbit for a confidential commercial client.

The flight takes place less than three weeks after the company's previous mission, highlighting Electron's role as the most frequently launched small-lift orbital rocket. Rocket Lab said its cadence continues to establish the standard for reliable and repeatable small satellite access to orbit.

This mission comes just ahead of the official opening of Launch Complex 3 at Wallops Island, Virginia, which will serve as the pad for Rocket Lab's upcoming medium-lift Neutron rocket. The company is maintaining its busy Electron manifest while advancing preparations for Neutron's debut.
