Like the previous launch, <i>Coming To A Storm Near You <\/i>will send a pair of shoebox-sized satellites to low Earth orbit to collect tropical storm data more frequently than other weather satellites. The TROPICS constellation (Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats) will help increase understanding of deadly storms and improve tropical cyclone forecasts, complementing other NASA and partner satellites. The TROPICS CubeSats require launch to a specific orbit at an altitude of 550 kilometers and inclination of about 30 degrees and all four satellites need to be deployed into their operational orbit within a 60-day period ahead of the 2023 North American storm season which begins in June.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe TROPICS constellation has the potential to save lives and improve our knowledge of deadly storms, so we\u2019re immensely proud to be part of making it possible,\u201d said Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Peter Beck. \u201cWith one pair of TROPICS satellites now safely in orbit, we\u2019re pleased to be back on the pad just two weeks later ready for the next launch. Regular and reliable dedicated small sat launch is what we developed Electron and our launch sites for, so it\u2019s a great feeling to be delivering on that for NASA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Coming To A Storm Near You<\/i> will be Rocket Lab\u2019s fifth Electron mission for 2023 and the Company\u2019s 37<sup>th<\/sup> launch overall since Rocket Lab\u2019s first Electron launch in 2017.

We deliver reliable launch services, satellite manufacture, spacecraft components, and on-orbit management solutions that make it faster, easier and more affordable to access space. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, Rocket Lab designs and manufactures the Electron small orbital launch vehicle, the Photon satellite platform and the Company is developing the large Neutron launch vehicle for constellation deployment. Since its first orbital launch in January 2018, Rocket Lab\u2019s Electron launch vehicle has become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered 161 satellites to orbit for private and public sector organizations, enabling operations in national security, scientific research, space debris mitigation, Earth observation, climate monitoring, and communications. Rocket Lab\u2019s Photon spacecraft platform has been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars, as well as the first private commercial mission to Venus. Rocket Lab has three launch pads at two launch sites, including two launch pads at a private orbital launch site located in New Zealand and a third pad in Virginia.
