Orbital launch provider Rocket Lab has confirmed it will open a 14-day launch window this month to conduct the company's first fully commercial launch.

The mission, named ‘It's Business Time', includes manifested payloads for Spire Global and GeoOptics, built by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems.

The 14-day ‘It's Business Time' launch window will open on Friday, April 20, 2018.

During this time a four-hour launch window will open daily from 12:30 p.m. NZST (00:30 UTC). ‘It's Business Time' will launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.

Rocket Lab is the only dedicated small launch provider globally that has deployed satellites to orbit.

‘It's Business Time' marks the fastest transition a private launch provider has made from test program to fully commercial flights.

This mission follows just three months after Rocket Lab's January 21, 2018 launch “Still Testing”, which successfully deployed an Earth-imaging satellite for Planet and circularised the orbit of two weather and AIS ship tracking satellites for Spire Global using Rocket Lab's in-house designed and built kick stage.

Rocket Lab founder Peter Beck says, “It's Business Time represents the shift to responsive space, we always set out to create a vehicle and launch site that could offer the world's most frequent launch capability and we're achieving that in record time.

“Rocket Lab is the only small launch provider that has reached orbit and delivered on promises of open access to space for small satellites.

“We can have payloads in orbit every 72 hours and our rapidly expanding manifest shows this is frequency is critical for the small satellite market.

Rocket Lab can achieve an unprecedented launch frequency thanks to a vertically integrated vehicle manufacturing process that enables Rocket Lab to roll an Electron vehicle off the production line every week.

The company will produce 100 3D printed Rutherford engines this year to support a monthly launch cadence by the end of 2018.
