Electron

Electron is a small, low-cost rocket developed by Rocket Lab, designed to deliver small payloads to orbit. It stands at 17 meters tall and has a diameter of 1.2 meters. The rocket is powered by Rutherford engines, which use electric motors instead of gas turbines, making it more efficient and cost-effective. Electron is capable of carrying payloads of up to 300 kg to low Earth orbit and up to 150 kg to a sun-synchronous orbit. It has a modular design, allowing for quick and easy assembly and integration of payloads. Electron is primarily used for commercial launches of small satellites, as well as for scientific and educational missions.
