The Electron, however, didn't quite make it to orbit and Rocket Lab will look into why.
"It was a great flight. We had a great first stage burn, stage separation, second stage ignition and fairing separation. We didn't quite reach orbit and we’ll be investigating why, however reaching space in our first test puts us in an incredibly strong position to accelerate the commercial phase of our programme, deliver our customers to orbit and make space open for business," Beck added.
The California-based company is one of the latest entrants into private spaceflight, where it's looking to reduce the cost of launching small satellites for companies around the world.

For those with the means, you can book your own dedicated flight on the company's website, or book a "rideshare" for your CubeSat from US$77,000. One can dream.
