Originally Published 1 year ago — by NASASpaceflight.com

Rocket Lab's Electron launch vehicle successfully deployed four Space Situational Awareness (SSA) satellites into low-Earth orbit, marking the first booster recovery since August 2023. The mission, named "Four of a Kind," delivered four LEMUR cubesats for Spire Global Inc., aiming to provide space-based weather monitoring and tracking for maritime and aviation activity. NorthStar Earth and Space plans to build a constellation of LEMUR spacecraft for monitoring near-Earth objects and space-based activity. Rocket Lab's 2024 started with the successful launch and recovery of the Electron's first stage, as it works towards its goal of first-stage reuse.
