Rocket Lab will attempt the Bridging the Swarm launch of the Korean disaster-monitoring satellite NEONSAT-1A from New Zealand tonight after a prior delay.
The mission, Bridging the Swarm, will deploy NEONSAT-1A about 54 minutes after liftoff, placing it in low Earth orbit.
The NEONSAT program is funded by the Korean government and KAIST's SaTReC leads the system design and engineering.
NEONSAT-1A is designed to provide near-real-time natural disaster monitoring for the Korean peninsula with a high-resolution optical camera.
The launch will use Rocket Lab's Electron rocket and a kick stage to deploy the satellite into low Earth orbit.
Space.com will provide a live stream of the launch, available through Rocket Lab or Space.com’s coverage.
This will be Rocket Lab’s second launch of 2026 and its 81st mission overall, according to Space.com.
KAIST's SaTReC leads the mission's system design and engineering for NEONSAT.
The NEONSAT program is part of a broader collaboration among Korean academic, industry, and research institutions.
If successful, NEONSAT-1A will support near-real-time disaster monitoring for the Korean peninsula.
