Both Planet and Spire, which operate satellite constellations for the purposes of delivering commercial Earth imaging and weather mapping services respectively, will have payloads aboard the next Rocket Lab launch, which is scheduled to take place sometime a few weeks after the Electron rocket makes its way to New Zealand this October. Rocket Lab has one test launch under its belt already – it flew an Electron rocket on May 25, 2017. That resulted in a failure, but it was due to a third-party piece of the process, according to Rocket Lab founder and CEO Peter Beck, and didn't require any significant changes to the Electron launch vehicle before future flight attempts. The rocket didn't make it all the way to orbit as planned, but it did make it to space, and provided a lot of valuable data that Rocket Lab used to refine their process.
