New Zealand-based company Rocket Lab has hit an impressive milestone with the 50th launch of its Electron rocket.

Like SpaceX, the company provides commercial launch services, carrying payloads into near-Earth orbit for private companies and providing services for space agencies like NASA. According to the company, the Electron rocket has reached 50 launches faster than any other commercially developed rocket.

Recommended Videos The most recent launch took place at 2:13 p.m. ET on June 20, carrying five Internet of Things satellites into orbit for the company Kinéis. As is typical for Rocket Lab, the mission was given a fun name — in this case “No Time Toulouse.”
