Curveball

Rocket Lab successfully launched its HASTE launch vehicle from Launch Complex 2 on Wallops Island, Virginia for an undisclosed customer. The mission was Rocket Lab's 9th HASTE launch overall. Despite HASTE being advertised as a suborbital launch vehicle, the second stage and kickstage from this mission were cataloged in a 200km orbit with an inclination of 40 degrees by the US Space Force. The payload was not cataloged. Further details are not known due to the classified nature of the mission.
