Rocket Lab réussit le lancement de sa fusée imprimée en 3D

The Californian startup Rocket Lab launched its Electron rocket a few days ago, some of which have been printed in 3D, from its private launch base in New Zealand. The rocket went into orbit last Sunday, placing three small satellites for Planet and Spire Global companies.

In some respects, the launch of three satellites in orbit is not an extraordinary fact, it is not the first and the last time this will happen. But for Rocket Lab, a private American company, this launch has a special connotation because it is the first time that a company launches several satellites from its private launch pad.
