    The mission will be Rocket Lab's tenth overall launch for BlackSky and cements Electron as the most prolific launcher for their constellation to date.

    Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced the launch window for its next mission for real-time space-based intelligence company BlackSky (NYSE:BSKY).

    The mission, named "Full Stream Ahead", will launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand during a launch window that opens on May 28th, 2025 UTC. The mission will launch the next of BlackSky's Gen-3 satellites to a mid-inclination circular 470km orbit, where it will join the remainder of the company's constellation delivering very high-resolution imagery and AI-enabled analytics for daily intelligence operations.

    "Full Stream Ahead" is the second in a series of four Electron launches booked by BlackSky to deploy its Gen-3 satellites to orbit this year, and the tenth overall launch for the company – making Electron the most prolific launcher for their constellation to date.

    Rocket Lab's launch for BlackSky will be the seventh Electron mission of 2025, its 65th launch overall, and will bring the total number of satellites delivered to space by Rocket Lab to 226.
