Rocket Lab launched a pair of Capella Space radar satellites March 16. An Electron rocket lifted off from Wallops Island, Virginia, at 6:38 pm EDT (2238 GMT) and deployed the two Capella satellites into orbit an hour later. The launch was the second this year by Rocket Lab and the second Electron mission from Virginia. Rocket Lab says it's planning up to 15 launches this year and has "a strong manifest with increasing demand" for the small launch vehicle.
