Rocket Lab USA, Inc. has announced the upcoming launch of its Electron rocket for Kineis, a global Internet-of-Things (IoT) connectivity provider. This mission, titled "IOT 4 You and Me," is scheduled to lift off during a launch window opening on February 4th, NZDT. The daily launch opportunity within this window is at 09:43 am NZDT (20:43 UTC).
The launch will take place at Rocket Lab's Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, marking the fourth of five dedicated missions under a multi-launch agreement with Kineis. The contract aims to deploy a full constellation of 25 IoT satellites, with three successful launches already completed in June, September, and November 2024.
"IOT 4 You and Me" is Rocket Lab's first mission of 2025. The company plans to surpass its 2024 record of 16 combined launches of the Electron and HASTE vehicles.
Peter Beck, Rocket Lab's founder and CEO, commented, "Last year we launched three dedicated missions for Kineis, deploying 15 satellites to precise and tailored orbits to get the constellation up and running rapidly. We're excited to continue the relationship in 2025 with our first mission off the pad for the year."
