Rocket Lab has successfully launched its Electron rocket and deployed its Pioneer spacecraft for the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command’s VICTUS HAZE Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) mission.
Lifting off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, the mission surpassed the previous TacRS record set by 2024's VICTUS NOX mission by more than 10 hours, establishing a new global standard for rapid call-up space capabilities.
