Rocket Lab Catch Me If You Can | Electron Try To CATCH Electron by Helicopter!!! @RocketLabNZ
4Mission update - After a great launch, we can confirm the primary mission is on track! Unfortunately no helicopter catch attempt today due to telemetry loss from Electron’s 1st stage during re-entry. As standard procedure, we pull the helicopter from the recovery zone if this happens

Catch Me If You Can will be Rocket Lab’s 32nd launch overall and its 2nd recovery attempt of this year. Their Electron rocket will be launching a single satellite for OHB Sweden and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) into a 585 km Sun-synchronous orbit. OHB Sweden developed a satellite bus on which the SNSA’s scientific payload is integrated It will investigate atmospheric waves in Earth’s upper atmosphere.
Recovery Of Electron’s First Stage
What Is Electron? Rocket Lab’s Electron is a small-lift launch vehicle designed and developed specifically to place small satellites (CubeSats nano- micro- and mini-satellites) into LEO and Sun-synchronous orbits (SSO). Electron consists of two stages with optional third stages.

Mission Name
It Argos Up From Here, a single GAzelle satellite for General Atomics
Launch Location
Launch Complex-1B, Māhia Peninsula, New Zealand
Payload mass
Up to ~180 kg (~397 Ib)
Where is the satellite going?
750 km Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) at 98° inclination
– 1st Rocket Lab’s mission for General Atomics
– 8th Rocket Lab launch of 2022
– 4th launch from Launch Complex-1B, Māhia Peninsula, New Zealand
– 31st Electron launch
– 133rd orbital launch attempt of 2022
It Argos Up From Here is the 31st launch of Rocket Lab’s small satellite launch vehicle Electron. The mission is scheduled to take off on October 07 2022 from Launch Complex-1B Māhia Peninsula New Zealand and marks the first partnership between Rocket Lab and General Atomics. General Atomics’ GAzelle satellite is carrying the Argos-4 payload as part of the international Argos program.
Today CNES NOAA EUMETSAT (European operational satellite agency for monitoring wather climate and the environment) and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) are actively participating in the Argos system providing the following applications:

Payloads
Next to Argos-4 is the RadMon experiment, which as the name suggests is a radiation monitoring experiment that will monitor and measure space radiation.
GAzelle
Not much is known about General Atomics GAzelle, other than it is a small satellite bus designed to host multiple scientific payloads and experiments providing power, communications attitude control and propulsion, with a nominal operational lifespan of five years.
What Is Electron?
Rocket Lab’s Electron is a small-lift launch vehicle designed and developed specifically to place small satellites (CubeSats nano- micro- and mini-satellites) into LEO and Sun-synchronous orbits (SSO). Electron consists of two stages with optional third stages.
First And Second Stage
First Stage Second Stage
Engine 9 Rutherford engines 1 vacuum optimized Rutherford engine
Thrust Per Engine 24 kN (5,600 lbf) 25.8 kN (5,800 lbf)
Specific Impulse (ISP) 311 s 343 s
Rutherford Engine
Rutherford engines are the main propulsion source for Electron and were designed in-house, specifically for this vehicle. They are running on rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) and liquid oxygen (LOx). There are at least two things about the Rutherford engine that make it stand out.
