WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. - History was made at the Wallops Island Flight Facility.
The 59-foot-tall electron rocket lifted off around 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 24 from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport.
NASA says the mission, named "Virginia is for Launch Lovers", will deploy three radio frequency monitoring satellites for Hawkeye 360.
It was Rocket Lab's first launch from the Virginia pad. Efforts to launch the rocket last year in December were delayed due to weather.
