From arrival at the launch site, 'launch can be completed in as little as 24 hours'.
Customers expect faster and faster deliveries these days, even when those deliveries have to cross the barrier between Earth and space.
Rocket Lab just announced a program that will allow customers to have their payloads in orbit within 24 hours of their arrival at the launch site,"From arrival at the launch site, payload integration, encapsulation and launch can be completed in as little as 24 hours," the release explains. The new service, which will of course add a premium fee to launch costs, is called the Responsive Space Program.
The company sending a payload to orbit on a Rocket Lab Electron rocket will, of course, have to give the California and New Zealand-based space firm more than one day's notice. Both companies will have to work together for several months on the weight, measurements, orbit, and other specifications crucial for the launch to go smoothly. However, that doesn't mean the launch date has to be set ahead of time, as the customer can give a day's notice once the necessary preparations are in place.We’re making it easier for commercial and govt satellite operators to access 24/7 rapid call-up launch capability and streamlined satellite build and operation options.
