"Rocket Lab Successfully Launches 4 Private Satellites and Recovers Booster on Jan. 28"

Rocket Lab is set to launch four private satellites into orbit using its Electron rocket, with the mission dubbed "Four of a Kind." The satellites, built and operated by Spire Global, will provide space situational awareness services. After deployment, Rocket Lab plans to recover the Electron's first stage by bringing it back to Earth for a soft Pacific Ocean splashdown, as part of its efforts to make the first stage reusable. If successful, this will be Rocket Lab's 43rd Electron mission and its first launch of 2024.
