Rocket Lab’s next launch will deliver 30 satellites to orbit – and a 3D-printed gnome from Gabe Newell

A total of 30 satellites will be released using Rocket Lab’s own Kick Stage implementation platform, which like other “space pulls” detaches from the 2nd phase once a certain initial orbit is reached and then delivers its payloads each at their own unique trajectory. Rocket Lab has worked hard to make its launch platform all-in-one, so potential customers do not have to shop around for various services or components.”Small satellite operators should not have to compromise on orbits when flying on a rideshare mission, and we’re delighted to supply customized access to space for 30 satellites on this objective.
