On May 8th, 2023, Rocket Lab successfully completed the first of two launches to deploy NASA’s Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats (TROPICS) mission across two separate Electron launches. The first mission - Rocket Like A Hurricane - was Rocket Lab’s 36th Electron launch overall and lifted-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand. #rocket #rockets #spacelaunch #space #rocketlab #rocketry #spacerocket #nasa

What a way to close out another year of Electron launches. A perfect mission successful guided re-entry of stage 1 as we work towards reusable rockets. Congratulations to our mission partners Spaceflight, Alba Orbital and ALE. We hope your satellites are enjoying their new home on orbit. 🚀🛰 | Rocket Lab
