<p>Rocket Lab has scheduled its next Electron mission, called “Follow My Speed,” for liftoff on November 20, 2025, at 12:15 UTC from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. This mission will deploy a single satellite for a confidential commercial customer and comes just 48 hours after the company successfully launched its HASTE mission from Launch Complex 2 in Virginia.</p>
<p>The quick turnaround between launches from different hemispheres highlights Rocket Lab’s responsive space capabilities and operational maturity.</p>
<p>If successful, this will mark the third time in the past 12 months that Rocket Lab has executed back-to-back launches within a 48-hour window. The mission will also bring the company’s total launches for 2025 to 18, setting a new annual record that surpasses its previous benchmark of 16 missions.</p>
<p>This achievement underscores Rocket Lab’s ability to scale its launch operations while maintaining reliability and meeting customer demands in an increasingly competitive space services market.</p>
