LOS ANGELES - US aerospace manufacturer Rocket Lab reached orbit for the first time with its second test flight of the Electron orbital launch vehicle, dubbed "Still Testing," the company announced Sunday.
Following successful first and second stage burns, Electron reached orbit and deployed customer payloads at 8 minutes and 31 seconds after lift-off.
"Reaching orbit on a second test flight is significant on its own, but successfully deploying customer payloads so early in a new rocket program is almost unprecedented," said Beck.
The company's first test launch took place on May 25, 2017, reaching space but not achieving orbit.
It made a number of components of the new Long March 7 Y2 rocket, which lifted China's first cargo spacecraft, Tianzhou 1, into orbit on April 20.
The company said a total of 83 Jilin-1 satellites have been delivered into orbit so far, to promote remote-sensing data and services for sectors such as agriculture, forestry, and environmental monitoring.

Mei Qin, general manager of the IoT branch of State Grid Wuxi Power Supply Co, said that by linking the ground electricity network to the Beidou system in orbit, the company can locate and monitor its own infrastructure in near-real time, facilitating rapid responses in situations like extreme weather or power outages.
The partnership covers the Fisker Orbit electric autonomous shuttle and other future projects in China.
In addition, search and rescue transponders are installed on six Medium Earth Orbit satellites, offering help to international commercial and civilian users, he said.
"We also plan to develop mid-to-high orbit quantum satellites," he said, and that "In the field of quantum computing, we aim to realize coherent manipulation of more than a few hundred qubits that can perform beyond classical computers in solving a number of important problems.
Since 2000, when the first Beidou satellite entered orbit, 58 satellites, including four experimental ones, have been launched and some have retired.
Developed by the Chinese Academy of Space Technology and owned by China Telecom, it is now operating in a geosynchronous orbit (GEO), delivering mobile communication services to China and the Middle East, Africa, and the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Currently, there are 46 operational Beidou satellites and China plans to send two more satellites in geostationary orbit in the first half of 2020 to finish the deployment of all of Beidou's space-based assets.
The plan for the China market is a part of the company' broader initiative to deliver a low earth orbit communications satellite network around the globe.
The company, better known as iSpace, was the country's first private firm to launch a satellite into orbit in 2019.
"In the satellite sector, for instance, it is predicted that about 57,000 low-orbit satellites will be deployed in low-Earth orbit, an orbit that is relatively close to Earth's surface and requires the least amount of energy for satellite placement, Mi said.
"That is to say, there will be very little space left in low-Earth orbit by then.
Tiangong, which has an overall weight of nearly 100 metric tons, is expected to operate in orbit for about 10 years as a space-based platform for science and technology.
