Rocket Lab to Launch Dedicated Neutron Mission for Kepler

Rocket Lab Corporation announced it has been selected by Kepler Communications Inc. to launch a dedicated Neutron mission. The mission, scheduled no earlier than 2028 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 3, will deploy multiple satellites to low Earth orbit, expanding Kepler's constellation. This is Kepler's first dedicated mission, providing greater control over launch schedule and orbital parameters, and further solidifies Neutron's manifest towards full capacity through the end of the decade.
