The world’s only private orbital launch range in [Mahia, New Zealand](https://maps.app.goo.gl/4GNB4c4spUsxLGfm6). An [FAA-licensed spaceport](https://www.faa.gov/space/spaceports), Launch Complex 1 can provide up to 120 [[Launches|launch]] opportunities every year. From the site it is possible to reach orbital inclinations from sun-synchronous ([[🌍 Orbits#SSO|SSO]]) through to 30 degrees, enabling a wide spectrum of inclinations to service the majority of the satellite industry’s missions to low Earth orbit.
>
Located within Launch Complex 1 are Rocket Lab’s private range control facilities, two 100K satellite cleanrooms, a launch vehicle assembly facility which can process multiple [[Electron]]s at once, and administrative offices. Operating a private orbital launch site alongside its own range and mission control centers allows Rocket Lab to reduce the overhead costs per mission, resulting in a cost-effective launch service for satellite operators.

## 🏭 Facilities
### Launch Pad A
**🚀 (LC-1A) Launch Complex 1 - Pad A**
**Location**: [39.261515237910196°S 177.86521705520965°E](https://maps.app.goo.gl/3zZRcGJ44pQZK7mS7)
**55 Metric Ton Launch Platform and Tower**
Operational since May 2017, LC-1A was the first pad at the complex and marked the inaugural orbital launch attempt from a private spaceport.
![[52328481908_3e649b4570_b.jpg|400]]
### Launch Pad B
**🚀 (LC-1B) Launch Complex 1 - Pad B**
**Location**: [39.2605032684272°S 177.8653779163029°E](https://maps.app.goo.gl/fHxReygz7WMi761n6)
Completed in December 2019, LC-1B became operational with its first launch on 28 February 2022. The addition of this pad allows Rocket Lab to increase launch frequency and flexibility.
