Rocket Lab launched the “Without Mission A Beat” mission from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 Pad A on April 2, 2022 UTC. The launch was a dedicated mission for BlackSky through global launch services provider Spaceflight Inc.
“Without Mission A Beat” carried a pair of BlackSky rapid-revisit, high-resolution Earth-imaging satellites to low Earth orbit, which expanded BlackSky’s constellation to 14 satellites. Rocket Lab has delivered the majority of BlackSky’s constellation to orbit on Electron missions since 2019.
“Without Mission A Beat” was Rocket Lab’s 25th Electron launch brought the total number of satellites launched by the company to 112.
