Mission Overview

mk sports app’s 16th Electron launch 'Return to Sender' successfully launched November 20, 02:20 UTC from mk sports app Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.

The Electron launch vehicle lofted 30 satellites to a sun-synchronous orbit at 500 km altitude for a range of customers, including TriSept, Unseenlabs, Swarm, Auckland Programme for Space Systems, and global gaming software company Valve. 

This mission also included mk sports app's first attempt to bring Electron’s first stage back to Earth under a parachute system for a controlled water landing before collection by a recovery vessel - a major milestone in mk sports app’s pursuit to make Electron a reusable rocket to support an increased launch cadence for small satellites.
