Rocket Lab Sets New Rapid Space Access Record with VICTUS HAZE

Rocket Lab successfully launched the U.S. Space Force’s VICTUS HAZE mission, setting a new global standard for rapid space access by launching just 16 hours and 42 minutes after receiving the Notice to Launch. This mission also marks the first time a single prime contractor provided a complete end-to-end solution for a Tactically Responsive Space mission, from design and build to launch and on-orbit operations. The Pioneer spacecraft is now conducting complex orbital maneuvers for Rendezvous and Proximity Operations, enhancing Space Domain Awareness for the U.S. and its allies.
