#CAPSTONE is on its way to the Moon! A flawless launch by Electron and great first burns by Photon's HyperCurie engine. Stay tuned for mission milestones and updates on the way to lunar orbit in the coming days and weeks. 🚀🌑🛰️

Next stop? Moon 🌑 Photon Lunar has been integrated onto Electron’s upper stage adapter at Launch Complex 1! This small but mighty spacecraft will set CAPSTONE on ballistic lunar transfer for @NASA and @AdvancedSpace.

We just sent the magic command and transitioned the rocket kick stage into a Photon satellite. Rocket Lab’s very own Photon satellite number 2 is born!

Research into futuristic ideas like a light-bending lunar power system or making soil from asteroid material could revolutionize our space tech toolbox and pioneer new missions. These early-stage proposals were selected for initial feasibility studies: go.nasa.gov/37N7WOM
