Rocket Lab sets new record with 'Follow My Speed' mission

Technology Nov 21, 2025

Rocket Lab just broke its own annual launch record with the "Follow My Speed" mission, sending a satellite into space from New Zealand on November 20.
This was their 18th launch of 2025. Out of these launches, most were orbital missions, while a few tested hypersonic tech.

Why does this matter?

Rocket Lab's launches show just how reliable they've become—especially for customers who need things done quietly.
Their Electron rocket now leads the pack among small orbital rockets worldwide, proving Rocket Lab is making serious moves in the global space game.
