Electron Rocket

Electron Rocket is a two-stage, expendable launch vehicle developed by Rocket Lab. It is designed to deliver small payloads of up to 300 kg to low Earth orbit. The rocket stands at 17 meters tall and has a diameter of 1.2 meters. The first stage of the rocket is powered by nine Rutherford engines, while the second stage is powered by a single vacuum-optimized Rutherford engine. The Electron Rocket is known for its cost-effectiveness and quick turnaround time, with a launch cadence of up to one launch per week. It is also equipped with a kick stage, which allows for precise payload deployment and orbital maneuvering.
