ROCKET LAB 27 -CAPSTONE''LUNAR MISSION" Electron Launch - NASA - ADVANCED SPACE - ORIGINAL PATCH

Rocket Lab has launched the CAPSTONE (Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) satellite to the Moon. It’s the first official mission of NASA’s Artemis program that is seeking to permanently return humans to the surface of our nearest astronomical body.

Launching onboard the Electron rocket, liftoff occurred at 5:55 AM EDT (09:55 UTC) on Tuesday, June 28, from Launch Complex 1B at Rocket Lab’s launch facility on Māhia Peninsula, New Zealand. This mission made Electron the smallest rocket to launch a payload toward the Moon and the first lunar flight to lift off from New Zealand.

Rocket Lab did not recover the first stage on this mission, hence the Electron launch vehicle supporting this mission flew in a standard configuration without any recovery hardware.

The second stage of the Electron placed the payload in an initial low Earth orbit. To propel the 25 kg (55 lbs) CubeSat to the moon, Rocket Lab’s Lunar Photon — optimized especially for Lunar missions — will give the payload the extra thrust needed to get it to the Moon.
