Summary
Rocket Lab just smashed its own record—launching a spacecraft in under 24 hours for the US Space Force. The mission, Victus Haze, tests “space domain awareness” by tracking a mock adversary satellite, simulating real-world threats as tensions rise with nations like China. Named Pioneer, the spacecraft was ready in just 37 hours, showcasing Rocket Lab’s rapid-response muscle. This isn’t their first Pentagon gig—think hypersonic tests and missile defense parts—but this latest win cements their role as a key player in America’s space security future.
