STP-S30

Rocket Lab will launch a mission from Launch Complex 2 in 2025 the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command (SSC). Named Space Test Program-30 (STP-S-30), the mission will deliver  research experiments and technology demonstrations to orbit for the Department of Defense that contribute to future space systems development. The projected primary payload, DISKSat, will demonstrate sustained very low earth orbit (VLEO) flight and test a unique, 1-meter diameter, disk-shaped satellite bus that is designed to increase on-orbit persistence.
