#Rocketlab #Electron #Space
DATE : July 29, 2021
LAUNCH PAD : Launch Complex 1 - Pad A
LOCATION : Mahia, New Zealand
ROCKET : Electron

Electron will deploy an Air Force Research Laboratory- sponsored demonstration satellite called Monolith.
The satellite will explore and demonstrate the use of a deployable sensor, where the sensor’s mass is a substantial fraction of the total mass of the spacecraft, changing the spacecraft’s dynamic properties and testing ability to maintain spacecraft attitude control.

The mission has been named ‘It’s a Little Chile Up Here’ in a nod to the beloved green chile of New Mexico where the Space Test Program is based.

Electron’s first stage will not be recovered on this mission.
