Two New Missions Added to 2025 Electron Launch Manifest
First Launch Planned for Later This Week
Two Electron missions have been added to the Rocket Lab launch schedule. The first of the two dedicated missions, both for a confidential customer, is planned for Friday of this week.

Launching from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, the first dedicated mission on Electron – named “Symphony In The Stars” - will take place no earlier than June 20, 2025 to deploy a single spacecraft to a 650km (≈404 mile) circular Earth orbit. A second dedicated launch on Electron to meet those same mission requirements is scheduled for launch before the end of 2025.
“These newly-added missions to our launch manifest represent everything that makes Electron a global launch leader: a tailored and responsive launch service that meets the mission requirements of satellite operators to get their satellites on orbit when they want, where they want, and on short notice," said Rocket Lab Founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck. "We’re proud to be delivering an unbeatable launch service for this new customer on Electron and looking forward to the first launch this week.”
The company says these dedicated Electron launches demonstrate both the strength of Rocket Lab’s responsive launch capabilities and its increasing launch cadence as the global leader in dedicated small launch. With demand for 20+ launches in 2025 and 100% mission success for all Electron launches this year, Electron is continually sought after by satellite operators across commercial, civil, and government missions, and remains on track for another record year of launches from Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 1 and Launch Complex 2 orbital launch sites in Mahia, New Zealand and Wallops Island, Virginia.
