'Four Of A Kind', a dedicated mission for Spire Global Inc. and its customer NorthStar Earth & Space, is Rocket Lab's first Electron launch of 2024 and our 43rd Electron mission overall.

The mission will launch no earlier than January 31 between 19:15 and 20:00 NZT, 06:15 and 07:00 UTC, and 07:15 and 08:00 CET from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.

'Four Of A Kind' will deploy four Space Situational Awareness (SSA) satellites for Spire Global, Inc.’s (Spire) customer NorthStar Earth & Space (NorthStar). NorthStar´s satellites, built and operated by Spire, will be the first to simultaneously monitor all near-Earth orbits from space, delivering a radically enhanced level of SSA services to the global satellite community with timely and precise information for space object detection, tracking, orbit determination, collision avoidance, navigation, and proximity alerts.

The live stream will start approx 25 minutes before the scheduled lift-off.

Rocket Lab will attempt to retrieve the first stage of the Electron rocket.
