Rocket Lab completes 92nd Electron mission for iQPS
Rocket Lab launched its 'The Grain Goddess Provides' mission from Mahia, New Zealand on August 6, deploying iQPS' QPS-SAR-13 (MIKURA-I) radar-imaging satellite to a 575km orbit more than five weeks after a June 30 last-second abort. It was Rocket Lab's 92nd Electron mission overall, its 13th of 2026, and its eighth dedicated launch for iQPS toward that customer's planned 36-satellite constellation.
