πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ Electron – LOXSAT 1 – Rocket Lab (Commercial) — Low Earth Orbit (LEO) — Technology
Unknown Pad — Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand

LOXSAT 1 is a demonstration satellite of a complete cryogenic oxygen fluid management system in orbit, developed by Eta Space and sponsored by NASA's Tipping Point program.

The system will be integrated on a Rocket Lab Photon-LEO satellite bus and collect critical cryogenic fluid management data in orbit for 9 months, demonstrating capabilities of in-space cryogenic storage and transferal. Eta Space plans to use technology developed for this mission to develop a truly commercial depot intended to serve multiple customers in the future.
